The prestigious Zhejiang University has launched a plan to train semiconductor engineers in cooperation with the US-based company ON Semiconductor.
Zhejiang University will use original English version textbooks provided by ON Semiconductor for the students enrolled in the undergraduate and graduate program in electronic engineering and information sciences.
With the company's funding, the university will also send a young teacher to attend a six-month training project at the Georgia Institute of Technology in the United States.
