The UM-SJTU Joint Institute (JI) was founded in 2006, following a strategic
partnership between the University of Michigan (UM) and Shanghai Jiao Tong
University (SJTU). Both partner universities are committed to developing JI
into a world-class institute for engineering education. The Chinese
government also recognizes JI as an exemplar of Sino-American collaboration
in higher education. In 2014, JI received the prestigious Andrew Heiskell
Award for "Innovation in International Education" from the Institute of
International Education (IIE). JI currently offers undergraduate and
graduate degree programs in Mechanical Engineering (ME), Electrical &
Computer Engineering (ECE), and Material Science & Engineering (MSE), all in
keeping with UM curriculum objectives. The ME and the ECE programs are ABET
accredited. All course instruction is in English.

Technical Communication courses strengthen students' ability to articulate
engineering projects by teaching the basics of written, oral, and visual
communication. Topics include but are not limited to technical reports,
proposals, presentation skills, scientific posters, professional
correspondence, and employment communication. Students should demonstrate an
ability to communicate effectively to a wide range of audiences, to organize
and present content based on specific audience needs

JI operates on a three-semester schedule. The successful candidate is
expected to teach 6 courses a year, 3-4 credits each course. Teaching
responsibilities would include various levels of Technical Communication and
potentially other related courses (e.g., professional development, business,
entrepreneurship, etc.).
