  有问必答

Q : Could you give some advice for our mainland undergraduates who are about to apply for a postgraduate program in Electrical and Computer Engineering in the USA?

A : First, it is better for you to complete your required English tests, like GRE and TOEFL, as early as you can; hence, you will have sufficient time to prepare other application materials. Second, you need to seek all possible opportunities to gain research experience or skills. Several top universities, such as MIT and Stanford, emphasize on the applicant’s research background. Third, you should improve your English writing skills. A polished CV and personal statement can significantly enhance your profiles, as these are probably the first materials that catch the professors’ eyes. Finally, in my opinion, the most important part in application is communication. When you start your application process, you should spend more time contacting (via email or phone) the faculty members in the targeting universities. If your research experience or other related experience can match the professor’s research interest and the professor shows interests to your application, you will likely be accepted.

Q : Briefly introduce your experience as a Postdoc Associate in MIT.

A : As a Postdoc Associate, my research interests include experimental investigations of quantum information processing. For instance, my research follows the same line as the quantum communication satellite that was launched recently by China. I did research independently and also trained several junior PhD students and visiting students. Having stayed at MIT for 1.5 years, I feel that MIT is a great place for study and research: I had the opportunities to collaborate with top research groups working on cutting-edge research topics, and to work with super-smart students and researchers to resolve challenging problems.

Q : What are the differences between the teaching methods of ECE in China and the USA?

A : In North America, a teacher’s primary goal is to help students build a genuine interest in the subject, and also to develop the creative and critical thinking abilities needed to approach and tackle problems; the courses generally involve a broader appreciation of subjects, including physics, mathematics, electronics and so forth; there are several courses in ECE that train students towards industry-orientated skills; students may have more chances for internships. These features are different from the teaching in China, in which the courses are more research-orientated.
