Abstract
This paper presents an innovative international cooperation project design in advanced manufacturing technologies (AMT) between Southeast University, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China and Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The project has been developed for the Special University Linkage Consolidation Programme that was one of the new initiatives included in a letter of intent signed by the Canadian Prime Minister and the Chinese Premier in 1994. The project covers a broad spectrum of engineering and technology management issues which are targeted to be helpful in China's present transition to a market economy. AMT in this paper includes not only the substantial body of knowledge regarding the design, fabrication, and assembly of goods but also management of these technologies with particular emphases on environmental issues and the human dimension (as they relate to manufacturing). The main objective of the project is human resource development and training to address the priorities and needs of a rapidly changing industry in the People's Republic of China by means of university/industry/government collaboration involving both Canadian and Chinese partners. The project aims to advance the knowledge of new manufacturing techniques, management methods, and product advantage with increased attention paid to the environment.
