From July 22 to July 27, 2019, the College of Communications Engineering (CCE) organized a short-term student exchange program to carry out overseas study and exchange activities in Macau, for the purposes of speeding up building Jilin University as a first-class university with first-level disciplines, broadening students' horizons and enhancing their academic communication skills. The 6-day exchange program, which attracted a total of 50 teachers and students, included trips to the University of Macau and Macau University of Science and Technology, and was a great success.
First the team visited the campus of the University of Macau, stayed in the dormitory reserved for the postgraduates and had meals in the university's canteen. Professor Ma Shaodan and other excellent teachers from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering gave a detailed introduction to the history, the master’s programs and PhD programs, as well as summer exchange programs of the University of Macau. They also kindly answered the questions raised by the delegation members, providing some guidance and help in the application for overseas study and the planning for future research. This visit was informative and rewarding to the delegation members and helped students lay out a relatively clear path of further study or research.
Mr. Wan Feng from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering helped the delegation cultivate a more intuitive understanding of the scientific research projects by showing three authentic experiments. The first experiment was the concentration training project, in which different concentration levels were regulated to control the wind power of different frequencies to drive the balls over obstacles. The second experiment was to have the subjects control alpha waves below a threshold to control the movement of insects. The third experiment revolved around observing the waves of the same frequency in the brain generated by two strobe squares of different frequencies and after obtaining these waves with an instrument, controlling the car to move back and forth with algorithms.
After that, the teachers at the university showed the delegation around the Electromechanical Engineering Laboratory, the State Key Laboratory of Analog and Mixed Signal VLSI and the Sensor-based Collaborative Robotics Laboratory. In the Electromechanical Engineering Laboratory, a person in charge introduced their major research focuses including compensators, active microwave devices and photovoltaic power generation systems, which mainly helped boost the low plant efficiency under the circumstance of reactive power and harmful energy consumption. In the State Key Laboratory of Analog and Mixed Signal VLSI, the teacher briefed the delegation on the history and the major research products of the laboratory, and led the members to visit the design equipment and instruments of RF radio circuit in the laboratory. In the Sensor-based Collaborative Robotics Laboratory, a teacher in charge led the group to watch the experimental video of unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned ships, and unmanned underwater vehicles, and elaborated on the underlying principle. The visit solicited many questions from interested students which were patiently answered.
In addition to understanding the current academic research of University of Macau, the team also visited the library imbued with modernity and intense learning environment, and delegation members were deeply impressed by the strong and free learning atmosphere.
On the 5th days in Macau, the team visited Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST) amid the warm reception by the teachers in the MUST. The teachers gave a detailed introduction of the master’s and PhD programs, and the research achievements of the MUST, with a focus on the achievements in wireless communications which was closely related to our College and communication majors.
The exchange program has helped strengthen our friendship with the University of Macau and the Macau University of Science and Technology, and laid a solid foundation for future cooperation and exchanges. It has also widened the international vision and sharpened scientific research ability of our undergraduates, thus bracing them up for future overseas study and exchanges. Team members said that the event not only helped broaden their horizons and familiarize themselves with cutting-edge science and technology, but also inspired a strong interest in study and scientific research.
