12) What is your academic background?

Since September 1999,I have been studying in the institute of electronic and mechanical Engineering of UESTE for my Bachelor's degree. I will graduate and get my bachelor's degree in this middle July.

13) How do you know this Univ.?

I started to know about CU just because Taiwan Province's former faint leader Tonghui Lee; and then I got to know a friend of my father who is now a director there. Just from then on, I was deeply impressed and intrigued by its fame and air. So I decided to go there for my further study

14) What is your plan? What will you do after graduation?

I will specialize in e-business security and finish my master study in ECE school in cu in about 3 years. Then I will come back to China and first get married with my girlfriend whom I have known from the childhood, At the same time I will find a managerial position in a big state owned company or joint venture. My desired place of working is Shanghai. My long-range objective is to be an entrepreneur and possess my own business like my father and ensure it with my own efforts.

15) Give me three reasons that you will come back to China?

First of all, I have to come back and get married with my girlfriend. We have known each other for too many years since we were very naive. You see: we were in the same class in junior high school. She is now a graduate student in Shanghai Jiaotong Uni. As far as I know, and properly as you know, the talents in the field is very rare in china, so I will see a more promising prospect when I'm back. Third, my career objective determines that it is a better choice for me to come back to China than staying in the States. You see my long-range objective is to become an entrepreneur and own my business. And it would be very difficult for me to realize it if I choose to stay in the States, for the United States is a highly developed country, and almost everything is already there. You see, as a country develops, the space for people to develop shrinks relatively. It is not realistic for me to find my own space as a successful entrepreneur between all these big, developed and high-tech companies I mean I could start, but can hardly succeed. On the contrary, if I come back to china, I have much better chances. Since china is underdeveloped, it leaves much more space for people, especially for e-business is just a booming area to develop. As you can see, many Chinese even do not know what the e-business is there, so my choice may be suitable.

16) Can you explain why 90% Chinese students didn't come back?

I think that is partly because they were afraid that they would not be treated fairly after they come back. As a matter of fact, that used to be the reality. But things has been changing greatly during the recent years and much more students are coming back are coming back after they have finished their study. I also think this has something to do with the majors. As for students majoring in science, they may like the better equipment, environment and salary in the States because they are afraid that if they are back some of their research cannot go on as a result of poor facility and shortage of funding. But as for my major, it will be very easy for me to find a good job in any of the big cities in China with my PhD in Industrial Engineering got in any of the big cities in China with my PhD in Industrial Engineering got in the United States. You see, it is a practical major. My career objective also determines that it is a better choice for me to come back to China than staying in the States. You see my long range objective is to become an entrepreneur and own my business. And it would be very difficult for me to realize it should I choose to stay in the States, for the United States is a highly developed county, and almost everything is already there. You see, as a country develops, the space for people to develop shrinks relatively. It is not realistic for me to find my own space as a successful entrepreneur between all these big, developed and high-tech companies in the States. I mean I can start, but can hardly succeed. On the contrary, if I come back to China, I have much better chances. Since China is underdeveloped, it leaves much more space for people, though things are changing everyday. With my expertise got in the States and my social relationship, it is much easier for me to start my own enterprise, or buy one from the government when they decide to privatize some of the medium-sized and small state owned enterprises.

17) Why do you choose this Univ.?

First of all, the electrical and computer Engineering program of CU is among the top 7 in the States, and my proposed advisor's research, in which I will work and study, is a national science foundation funded project. Both my department chair and several foreign friends suggested me this school. And also I like the weather, landscapes of Ithaca, not as windy and sandy as Shandong, and not as hot and wet as Chengdu. That is what one of my American friends told me. Another reason is that I got the admission and offer from CU very early- in early March. And I could not decline this admission after I had accepted it.

18) Why do you like your major?

Because I believe it is promising in China. As for my major, it will be very easy for me to find a good job in any of the big cities in China with my study in the United States. You see, it is a practical major. My long-range objective is to become an entrepreneur and own my business. Thus engineering is my best choice. It is a combination of technologies, engineering and management which are all required to be a successful entrepreneur. Since China is underdeveloped, it leaves much more space for people.

19) Why do you want to study in USA?

Because engineering is a new and underdeveloped major currently in China. When my department chair leaned that I was planning to go abroad and further my study in Engineering, he was glad and encouraged me to do so. We talked a little bit and agreed that promoting research and application in engineering in china is now necessary and will soon prove very fruitful, while the development of this discipline in China is far from satisfactory. You see, Engineering, especially e-business and e-commerce engineering became a formal area of study in china only in late 1990s, only few years ago. The problem is that you can hardly find any master program in the field in this country. Apparently the best choice is to get my master in the States, where engineering originated and is now much advanced.

20) Why do you want to pursue a master's degree?

As for my major, it will be very easy for me to find a good job in any of the big cities in china with my degree and study Electrical and Computer Engineering got in the United States. You see, it is a practical major. Moreover, I think a master of this is necessary for me to realize my career objective. My long-range objective is to become an entrepreneur and own my business. I don't want to stop someday on the half way towards success to resume my study as a result of knowledge shortage. With my master got in the States and my social relationship, it is much easier for me to start my own enterprise, or buy one from the government when they decide to privatize some of the medium-sized and small state-owned enterprises.

21) Why do you receive financial aid from this Univ.?

Yes. On the basis of the evaluation of my resume, personal statement, undergraduate transcripts, and GRE TOEFL scores, I was accepted by the department as a priority student and honored full financial support (fellowship) including a tuition & insurance waiver and yearly living stipend of 19,800 US dollars, which is renewable for a total of three years.

22) What is the difficult class do you have?

Probably algorithm. It is a course about advanced calculating and requires high techniques in both computer programming and mathematics.

26) What's the difference between your major now and the major in USA?

They are almost the same. Both of my undergraduate studies are in EE & CE engineering. Just my graduate study will be more detailed and advanced. And I will specialize in e-business security and encryption, which is a sub-area of ECE.
