Recently, NENU-SUTD Immersion Programme for Technological World, a practical and exchange activity for undergraduates, was successfully launched by NENU andSUTD. This activity was jointly launched by School of Physics, NENU, and College of Mathematics and Science, Singapore University of Technology and Design (hereinafter referred as SUTD). Affected by the global epidemic, the first activity was held online, catering to junior undergraduates who study physics in NENU or SUTD.
The theme of this activity was “The Internet of Things”. This activity adopted PBL (project-based learning) model, including various forms of communication such as virtual competition, workshop for technology, group discussion, remote practice, summarizing and reporting, etc., which put theories and practices together, with both knowledge and interest.
At the opening ceremony, Professor Ma Jiangang, Dean of School of Physics, NENU, and Professor Hong Liqi, Director of College of Mathematics and Science, SUTD, introduced the development course and characteristic advantages of NENU and SUTD, respectively. They hoped that a long-term cooperation and communication platform could be established through this activity. Then, Wang Chunliang, Assistant Dean of School of Physics, NENU, and Li Qihui, a senior lecturer of College of Mathematics and Science, SUTD, showed beautiful campuses and excellent environments of living and study of both NENU and SUTD, respectively. During this activity, Associate Professor Dong Yongjun from School of Physics, NENU and Li Qihui respectively gave technical reports titled as “Heart of IoT-Sensors” and “The Introduction to IoT Technology, MQTT Protocol and Arduino Coding”, which provided entry-level technical guidance for undergraduates in NENU and SUTD to launch programs. At the closing ceremony, Sun Desheng, Deputy Director of Division of International Cooperation and Exchange and Professor Hong Liqi respectively summarized and reviewed this activity.
