  1. Panel at the 2nd US-China CS Leadership Summit CS Student Recruiting, Training, and Placement Chair: Hai Jin, Huazhong University of Science and Technology Panelist: Xiaofei Xu, Harbin Institute of Technology

  2. Huazhong University of Science and Technology, located in the central of China, was founded in 1953, and ranks the TOP 10 universities in China.

  3. Topic • How graduate students are recruited, trained, and placed in positions

  4. Questions • What criteria are used to recruit students? • What requirements are there for the differentgraduate degrees? • What faculty members are involved in the recruitment and the training? • What is the current and potential future job marketfor students with graduate degrees in computer science? • How do faculty assist with placement? • Is there a role for US-Chinese collaborationsin this area?

  5. Few more words • While the panel will emphasize graduate education, comments on training and placement of undergraduates are alsoappropriate • A few general points and a concrete example or two from your experience would be sufficient in your presentation

  6. What criteria are used to recruit students? • University ranking and major (985, 211,…) • Research experience and potential (awards in various contest) • Programming ability (programming test) • English (Level 6 or 4) • Other certificates

  7. What requirements are there for the different graduate degrees? • For master students • Research project/system prototype deployment • Draft a technical report/publish a paper • A thesis and a demo during oral defense • For Ph.D students • Research project/innovation • Publish high quality papers • University level: 1 level B journal/2 level C journals • Lab level: 3(conference papers)+2(journal papers, 1B+1C)

  8. What faculty members are involved in the recruitment and the training? • For master students • All faculty members with Ph.D degree or with associated professor title can be supervisor • 4 for each professor, and 2 for others • For Ph.D students • Only Ph.D supervisor (part of professors) can supervise Ph.D students • Others may supervise Ph.D students only being as assistant supervisor • Each Ph.D student has 4 professors forming a supervising group

  9. What is the current and potential future job market for students with graduate degrees in computer science? • Job market for CS graduate students varies with universities • For master students, very good job market, starting salary from 5K RMB per month to 20K RMB per month • Majority go to industry, but still some go to government • Some go abroad, very small amount continue Ph.D degree • For Ph.D students, varies also • My case: 21 graduate total, 16 to university, 2 to industry, 1 to research institute, 2 to government • 3 go abroad as postdoc

  10. How do faculty assist with placement? • Industry collaboration/joint lab • Research influence • Project background • Faculty academic/industry influence • Recommendation

  11. Is there a role for US-Chinese collaborations in this area? • Promote students/faculty exchange to improve student training quality and foster research ability • Recommend students/faculty members • Collaborate with Chinese government 5000 exchange program • Creative program: dual Ph.D program

  12. And mooore….
