Synopsis of Research in Shanghai (May 28 - June 27):
Professor Xin Wang will be conducting a 3-4 week summer research project at NYU Shanghai, focusing on curriculum development and experiential learning. Professor Wang’s research emphasizes emerging pedagogical trends and the integration of new technologies such as AI and 3D printing, aiming to connect academic learning with industry practice by enhancing both classroom and laboratory education. The project will collect feedback from students, faculty, and industry partners, covering various NYU campuses and top global institutions. Professor Wang is particularly interested in NYU Shanghai's Community-Engaged Learning Office (CELO), and is eager to understand its approach to integrating real community engagement into academic learning. While gaining experience, Professor Wang will also communicate with local scholars, schools, and businesses to promote exchange and learning opportunities in China for students from NYU's Engineering School.
