A STEM Week online course, jointly organized by ZJUI and Dunman High School in Singapore, was held in July. The event attracted many high school students with a passion for science and engineering. It was planned and organized jointly by ZJUI Professor ONG Weeliat and by Mr Chen Shunfa, head of the Design, Innovation, and Research Department at Dunman High School. Topics included Bioinspired Technology, Using Signal Processing for Geologic Surveys, Chinese Megastructures, Sustainable Urban Transport and Infrastructure, Medical Robotics, and Computer Vision. These were chosen by ZJUI professors to immerse students in the world of science and advanced technology and to present them with engineering vision. The course was delivered using pre-recorded presentations and supplemented with live online discussion sessions where students interacted and provided feedback to the professors. The online team, led by Professor Li Erping, the Dean of ZJUI, sought to be approachable and entertaining. Many participants expressed their thanks and appreciation to the professors and suggested ways to improve these sessions. They were excited about STEM Week and expressed their desire to participate in future sessions.
