Program Information
The Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering
faculty-led study abroad experience is a three-week
program in Tianjin, China that offers chemical engineering
students the opportunity not only to broaden their
technical skills but also to become familiar with
one of the most dynamic and culturally significant
countries in the world. Located only 30 minutes from
Beijing by high-speed train, Tianjin is China’s
sixth-largest municipality, boasting a population
of more than 11 million. Although 40 percent of Tianjin’s
total area is dedicated to farmland, the municipality
remains an important industrial base with major industries
including petrochemical, textiles, automotive, mechanical
and metalworking. The architecturally rich area features
numerous attractions, including the Forbidden City,
the Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen Square and the Great
Wall. Tianjin University, established in 1895 with
the name of “Peiyang University”, is the
first educational institution of higher learning in
China. More than 1,800 students attend its School
of Chemical Engineering where they receive instruction
from 300 faculty members. Students will have the opportunity
to participate in both cultural and technical field
trips, and Mandarin Chinese instruction will be available.
Students will receive full Texas A&M credit upon
successful completion.
