Introduction : 

Study Engineering in China 5 Introduction China is one of the world's oldest civilizations with nearly 4,000 years of continuous history . Prior to the 19th century, it possessed an advanced economy; but successive dynasties missed the Industrial Revolution that occurred in Europe and China began to decline. In the 19th and 20th century, European and Japanese imperialism , internal weakness and civil war damaged the country and its economy, and led to the overthrow of imperial rule .

Introduction : 

Study Engineering in China 6 Introduction In 1949, after major combat in the Chinese Civil War had ended, two states whose official names are "China" emerged: The People's Republic of China (PRC), established in 1949, commonly known as China , has control over mainland China and the largely self-governing territories of Hong Kong (since 1997) and Macau (since 1999) as well as many islands . The Republic of China (ROC) established in 1912 in mainland China, now commonly known as Taiwan , since 1945 has had control over the islands of Taiwan , Penghu , Kinmen , Matsu and a few other outlying islands .

C9 League - China: 

Study Engineering in China 21 C9 League - China On May 4, 1998, Project 985 was initiated by the Chinese government in order to advance the higher education system. In the first phase, nine universities were selected and allocated funding for the first period of three years. On October 10, 2009, these nine universities created the C9 League. The universities collectively account for 3% of the country's researchers but receive 10% of national research expenditures, and produce the lion's share of output, generating 20% of the country's journal articles and 30% of total citations.

International Engineering Alliance (IEA) : 

Study Engineering in China 46 International Engineering Alliance (IEA) Agreements covering tertiary qualifications in engineering The Washington Accord (1989) – Professional Engineering, normally of four years duration. The Sydney Accord ( 2001) - engineering technology, normally of three years duration. The Dublin Accord (2002) - technician engineering, normally of two years duration.

International Engineering Alliance (IEA) : 

Study Engineering in China 47 International Engineering Alliance (IEA) Agreements covering competence standards for practising engineers The APEC Engineer agreement ( 1999). This has Government support in the participating APEC economies. The representative organization in each economy creates a "register" of those engineers wishing to be recognised as meeting the generic international standard. Other economies should give credit when such an engineer seeks to have his or her competence recognised. The Agreement is largely administered between engineering bodies, but there can be Government representation and substantive changes need to be signed off at governmental APEC Agreement level. The Engineers Mobility Forum agreement (2001). It operates the same competence standard as the APEC Engineer agreement but any country/economy may join. The parties to the agreement are largely engineering bodies. There are intentions to draw EMF and APEC closer together. The Engineering Technologist Mobility Forum agreement was signed by participating economies/countries in 2003. The parties to the Agreement have agreed to commence establishing a mutual recognition scheme for engineering technologists.

At only 14, entered Jiaotong University 's Tangshan Engineering College (now Southwest Jiaotong University ), having earned the top score in math and the second best score overall in the college entrance exams for his entering class.

Study Engineering in China 94 SWJTU – Noted Alumni (2) : Tung-Yen Lin ( 林同炎 ) In 1954 , Lin founded the firm T.Y. Lin and Associates to help move prestressed concrete from the realm of research into real-world applications. The firm's name changed to T.Y. Lin International by the late 1960s to reflect the company's growth and worldwide presence. Lin believed so strongly in the material that he helped assemble in San Francisco in the summer of 1957 the first World Conference on Prestressed Concrete , which was attended by 1,200 engineers, scientists and manufacturers.
