MTE do not only teach us some management/technology knowledge and skill, but also asks us to take an engineer minor, which is very important in the future career development for me. This unique study plan will maintain our engineer professionalism and make us a cross-discipline talents. What’s more, the classmates and staffs in MTE are all very inclusive and collaborative. It will be my treasure memory.
