On the morning of March 28, a meeting between the SHU School of Mechatronic Engineering and Automation and the Institute of Mechanical Engineering of Aachen University of Technology took place in the East District of the SHU Baoshan Campus, attended by Markert  Bernd, Deputy Dean of the Institute of General Mechanics, and the Institute of Mechanical Engineering at Aachen University of Technology; Helmut, Ph.D., CEO, International College, Aachen University of Technology; Prof. Gong Siyi, Vice President of Shanghai University; Prof. Fang Minglun, tenure Professor at Shanghai University; Prof. Cui Wei, Director of SHU International Cooperation Office; Prof. Liu Yi, Deputy Director of SHU International Cooperation Office; and other guests.

The School of Mechatronic Engineering and Automation at Shanghai University and the School of Mechanical Engineering at Aachen University of Technology in Germany signed an cooperation agreements on the "3+1" education programme. At the beginning of the meeting, Professor Markert Bernd introduced the "3+1" programme in mechanical engineering to the participants. He said that Aachen University of Technology is one of the largest and most famous universities of science and technology in Germany. Aachen University of Technology welcomed students from Shanghai University. In Aachen, students can have access to world-class scientific research and educational resources. The Institute of General Mechanics (IAM), founded in 1870, is one of the largest mechanics institutes in Germany. Its research mainly focuses on the broad field of digital engineering, involving advanced modeling and simulation methods and artificial intelligence.

Prof. Cui Wei briefed the participants on the history and development of Shanghai University. He said that Shanghai University is a comprehensive university undergoing the stage of rapid development. With the launching of the "3+1" programme with Aachen University of Technology, undergraduate students at Shanghai University will be able to improve both their academic and communication ability. Shanghai University will continue to explore the various possibilities of joint education with overseas high-level universities, providing more overseas exchanging and learning platforms for its students

.

This cooperation with Aachen Polytechnic University will not only broaden the vision and expertise of students participating in the programme, but also expand the communications between faculties on both sides, bringing new opportunities for the development of talents training and international exchanges for the construction of first-class and high-level universities.

Aachen University of Technology has the largest Institute of mechanics in Germany. According to the ranking of German Economic Weekly, Aachen University of Technology ranks the first in Germany in terms of mechanical engineering, economic engineering and electronic information engineering. According to the 2019 QS World University Ranking, Aachen University of Technology ranks 30th in the world and 9th in Europe, among which mechanical engineering ranks 23rd in the world, No. 7 in Europe, and No. 1 in Germany.

The mechanical engineering specialty of Shanghai University is a national key discipline, regarded as the "First-class Discipline" by the Chinese Ministry of Education. This partnership will strengthen international cooperation and bring benefits to students on both sides.
