Computer science and technology at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China

Abstract

Chinese technical education was severely curtailed during the cultural revolution, when senior professors often experienced great difficulties. However, ten years after the open-door policy was initiated, radical changes to computing and engineering curricula had been completed. The new computing curricula are modelled on ACM/IEEE recommendations, albeit set in a Chinese cultural environment, and in general Tsinghua is supported by modern US technology. This article is based on a recent visit (December 1989) by the UK author
