Earlier this semester there was an informal get-together for all of the students from Temple, Penn and Drexel, who were at TLJJ last fall, and it seemed that they thoroughly enjoyed their experience. This past fall marked the second year of the Sophomore Engineering Study in Japan Program for the College of Engineering. This program is unique in that it is one of a very few programs in the nation, and the only Japanese-focused program, designed to allow engineering students to study abroad without interrupting their studies.
Japan is a great place to visit.
Ten students went to TUJ this past fall. Three of those were Temple students - Christopher Puchalsky, mechanical engineering, Nandakumar Thiyagarajan, electrical engineering, and Marcus Weidner, civil engineering. Dr. Robert Baren, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, Temple University, went to TUJ this past fall and taught the engineering courses. One of the Drexel students liked the experience so much he is still over there. The students found the experience quite satisfying.
