Field trips to companies enrich learning

Doctoral student Dang Dinh Huy was surprised to be invited to participate in off-campus visits to some of China's most advanced automation, automotive and machinery manufacturing companies - a project organized by the China Scholarship Council in Shenyang, Liaoning province.

"I am very lucky to have the chance to visit," Dang said. "It helps me have a clear view of China's outstanding enterprises and the potential future of my career."

The 26-year-old Vietnamese student, sponsored by CSC, is pursuing his mechanical manufacturing and automation control doctorate at Northeastern University, the leading engineering and technology university in China.
