About SMSCP
"This program gives students great possibilities to find a good job, and lets them experience some enterprise culture. Also the SMSCP teaches the students the spirit of team work."
Duan Xiangjun, Teacher at NJCIT, Nanjing, China
"I have learned a lot in this program, the most important thing being the “System Approach”--a new method of teaching. It is totally different from the traditional bottom-up way. Instead, it’s a top-down method. Before knowing every component, the students get to know the concept of the entire system."
"I feel that working with an entire system then breaking it down to a single component then fundamentals is an approach that helps to spark student interest and initiative."
"System Approach is the most special feature for me in this program; it is the best way to learn the interdisciplinary areas of the engineering sciences. The benefits of the approach are: it can make complex problems easier, the students can experience the real system, and they can combine their acquired theoretical and practical experiences very well."
"The program was valuable and useful in that it is important for potential instructors to physically see the Siemens facilities, interact with the staff, gain knowledge of the systems approach, see concrete examples such as developing specific lesson plans, and become familiar with the software that will be used."
