Dear Wangxue,
Due to lack of proper training, most professors in ZJU have no idea about scholarship themselves. Cheating and repetition abound. The academic system in U.S. is much cleaner than that in China. You may conduct real creative research first time in your life only after you get to the U.S.
Studying engineering is to provide hard labor in exchange for education for more hard labor. Studying business is to spend money to get education for making more money. Hence, those Chinese kids in undergraduate programs at OSU pay tuition to study business, whereas those in graduate programs get paid to work in the lab.
Good luck.

主题: Re: 答复: Happy Birthday: Greeting from a student aboard
Dear Prof. Lee,
I'm currently a fresh PhD student of Chemical Engineering in Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. The atmosphere of graduate study here in OSU is completely different from that in ZJU. The academic pressure is tough, and now I more or less understand part of the reason why "PhD" is a respectful title here in US.
I found an interesting phenomenon here. Every graduate student, especially those who intend to pursue their PhD degrees, from China I met here is engaged in science and technology majors like ChE, CS, EE, ME, etc. And every undergraduate student from China I met here, I mean everyone, no exception, studies in the field of business, finance, management, etc, especially in the Fisher.
Thank you for your reply, I didn't expect that, honestly.
Yours
Wangxue Deng

主题: Happy Birthday: Greeting from a student aboard
Dear Prof. Lee,
Happy birthday to you, and thank you for everything you did and you are doing to Zhejiang University and the education of China. I graduated from ChE@ZJU this summer, and now I'm pursing my PhD degree in US.
This may be a trivial greeting, however, I appreciate everything you are doing now, and thank you so much. Happy birthday to you and hope you every success in the future.
Yours
Wangxue Deng
