Visiting Education City in Qatar is always what I am dreaming of, and even better if I could participate in the classes there. But I got both of them this summer, which was definitely more than I expected. This summer, I got the opportunity to the school, Texas A and M in Qatar, the distinguished university from the States. The branch in Qatar was set up in 2003, and it thrived in the state of Qatar. In the beginning, 29 students are in the first year, but until now more than 400 engineers have graduated from 2007. The school is in Education City in Doha and designed by Mexican architect. Therefore, the building has lots of Mexican elements. The main gate is like pyramid and the use of color is bold. Also, the architect integrated the Middle east culture; therefore, we could find classical patterns on the wall. In the visit yesterday, I think is a privilege for me to take part in one class in the Texas A and M. The class was Professor Joseph Williams’s class, mainly about how to write decent resume and CV for the upcoming job hunting season. For me, the class size is small, only 9 including me, which is quite different from Taiwan. In the beginning of the courses, the professor asked everyone’s status of quo, the progress of the report for T1 and relevant projects. In the counterpart in Taiwan, professors may not have enough time to meet or to take care every student. But here in Texas A and M, this is common.
