Chinese Students from Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China, Spend Summer Research Internship in Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering at MSU
2011/2010....
BAE Students
Win Notable
Awards
Congratulations to Ellen Bornhorst. At the April 15, 2011, Board of Trustees meeting, 33 students received Board of Trustees’ Awards for having the highest scholastic average at the close of his or her last semester in attendance at Michigan State University. They all received a 4.0 GPA. Ellen, of Houghton, is the daughter of Ted and Laurie Bornhorst and a graduate of Houghton High School. A member of the Honors College, Bornhorst is a Biosystems Engineering major in the College of Engineering.
The Fellowship Board of Tau Beta Pi, an engineering honor society, selected Kevin Koryto to receive a GEICO Scholarship, sponsored by GEICO Insurance. This award is for Koryto's undergraduate study during the 2010-11 academic year at Michigan State University. All Tau Beta Pi Scholarships are awarded on the competitive criteria of high scholarship, campus leadership and service, and promise of future contributions to the engineering profession.
Congratulations to Jessica Emery and Hanna Miller. These Biosystems Engineering students won two out of the 16 categories (for the whole university) at the 2010 University Undergraduate Research and Arts Forum (UURAF). This is the fifth year in a row that biosystems engineering students have won first place in one or more categories at the UURAF.
MSU President Lou Anna Simon is committed to transforming MSU from a Land-grant university to a World-grant university. She launched a special initiative, Boldness by Design, in 2005 during the sesquicentennial year of the university which includes five imperatives: enhance the student experience; enrich community, economic, and family life; expand international reach; increase research opportunities; and strengthen stewardship.
In keeping with Boldness by Design global imperative the department has signed a memorandum of agreement with the Zhejiang University College of Biosystems Engineering and Food Science. According to the 3+1+X agreement students will complete three years of the undergraduate degree in their home institution and will attend their senior year in biosystems engineering at MSU taking senior level courses including the capstone design sequence. These course credits will transfer to their home institution which will grant their bachelors degree in biosystems engineering. Students will continue on for their MS degree in biosystems engineering at MSU. Students interested in taking advantage of this agreement have the opportunity to spend a five-week summer internship in the various labs of the department prior to entering the program. A group of eight students participated in summer internship during 2008 and a second cohort of nine students came during 2009 summer. Students were assigned to different faculty members depending on their interests and in addition to gaining valuable lab experiences they had excellent social interactions with other MSU students and went on several cultural tours within the state of Michigan.
MSU is committed to developing an in-depth relationship with China and has established an office of MSU China programs in Beijing.
