EI - Food Management at Surrey University
MSc/PGDip/PGCertFood Management
The food industry is an exciting field in which to work. Its diverse nature presents very particular challenges to those within it. Many people reach management positions within the food sector either with relevant food-related knowledge, but no management training, or with management experience, but little food-related knowledge. This programme provides prospective managers with both types of knowledge. It is an applied programme, providing a very different perspective on food-related topics to, for instance, food science programmes. Specifically, the programme aims to develop an in-depth understanding and insight into aspects of food management. It provides a sound management education whilst developing the skills to ensure the safety, acceptability and nutritional adequacy of the food that is provided.
The programme offers a high quality vocational education, which is intellectually rigorous and up-to-date, as well as relevant to the needs of future managers, executives and professionals in the food industry. The programme has a business management orientation related to service industries and draws on a range of cognate areas of study to explain and analyse the particular sector. An integrated approach is taken so as to provide a coherent view that explores the interrelationships between the various components of the programme. The programme can be taken on a full- or part-time basis. Part-time study is based on attendance for two days per week for two years.

Curriculum Focus
THREE THEMES INHERENT IN THIS CURRICULUM ARE:1) REPRESENTATION, 2) PROCESS, 3) SUSTAINABILITY
RepresentationStudents become experienced with freehand drawing, mechanical drawing, "hands-on" model building, and 3-D and 4-D computer modeling. Freehand sketching provides an efficient means of initiating schematic ideas while computer modeling and analyses allows for the rapid generation and evaluation of the impacts of design decisions. Students create compelling visual presentations utilizing the wide array of representation techniques acquired in this major.
ProcessStudents learn methodologies to design and construct innovative architectural forms and systems. Students gain an understanding of the entire lifecycle of the collaborative design and construction process. The focus is on thinking clearly, reasoning critically, and documenting and managing the evolution of creative ideas. The success of a design process hinges not only on bold concepts but also on a well devised means of developing and executing these ideas.
SustainabilityStudents learn to develop solutions that integrate all the diverse requirements that sustainability demands. Coursework includes topics such as energy systems, ecologically friendly building materials, water conservation, and indoor air quality. The emphasis on green architecture is also manifested in the new Green Dorm, a proposed Stanford student residence that has engaged students in its design process.

EEV - Structural Engineering and Geomechanics Program at Stanford University
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering focuses on interactions between human activities and the natural environment. Its mission is to use science, engineering, and policy to improve quality of life. This includes intelligent use of natural resources such as the raw materials, energy, and ecosystems needed to sustain modern society. It also includes design of functional and environmentally compatible facilities and infrastructure. Within this broad context, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is especially concerned with:
Better understanding of natural cycles, systems, and processes relevant to human activities Use of natural analogs to help design new materials, industrial processes, and infrastructure systems Development of new building and transportation technologies Advances in information infrastructure and logistics Creation of attractive and sustainable physical environments An education in civil and environmental engineering provides an excellent foundation for careers in fields as diverse as engineering design, education, law, medicine, and public health, as well as for graduate study in engineering and science. Our graduates teach and carry out research in universities, work for large firms, start their own businesses, and take positions in government and nonprofit organizations. As pressures on limited natural resources grow, there will be increasing demand for engineers who understand how to make best use of these resources in the products and services they design. The department's undergraduate program recognizes this need by providing background in science and engineering fundamentals while also emphasizing hands-on design projects and case studies that provide context and motivation. Students are taught how to combine theory, measurement, and modeling to develop a good understanding of the problem at hand and to point the way to desirable solutions.
The department offers two designated undergraduate degrees accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering provides a solid foundation for practice in both classical and newly developing areas of civil engineering, including structural analysis and design, engineering materials, geotechnical analysis and design, sustainable built environments, and transportation and logistics. The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering Science emphasizes the fundamental physical, chemical, and biological processes necessary for understanding the interactions between man and the environment. Issues considered include the provision of clean and reliable water supplies, flood forecasting and protection, development of renewable and nonrenewable energy sources, causes and implications of climate change, and the impact of human activities on natural cycles. Both programs provide awareness of the sociopolitical context in which civil and environmental engineering problems are solved. Premedical students may satisfy medical school entrance requirements while earning the accredited degree in environmental engineering science with proper planning of their program. A third degree is offered for students who want more flexibility. Typical examples are students who will pursue careers in medicine, law, or scientific research.
The undergraduate programs in civil engineering and environmental engineering science share a common sophomore year that emphasizes mathematics, mechanics, ecology, and design. The ecology sequence begins by considering how natural systems work and then turns to a consideration of interactions between these systems and human activities. This sequence provides a scientific context for a consideration of sustainable design in subsequent subjects. Sophomore students from all programs work together in teams on design projects that synthesize concepts taught in the core subjects. In the junior and senior years, students from the two programs concentrate on disciplinary subjects that provide depth in each specialty. During the final term of the senior year, all students come together again in an advanced design subject that integrates lessons learned throughout the undergraduate education. There is ample room in the program for electives and minors that can be used to tailor each student's program to individual needs.
At the graduate level, the department offers two complementary but distinct types of programs. First, research-oriented doctoral and master's programs advance fundamental understanding and develop innovative approaches to engineering problems. Such programs prepare professionals for positions of leadership in research and teaching. Second, practice-oriented master's degrees introduce the political, economic, and cultural factors that influence social priorities, and prepare students to function as members of interdisciplinary teams. These programs add technical depth and professional skills beyond the four-year bachelor's degree.
Graduate programs are offered in the following areas: environmental chemistry and environmental biology; geotechnical and geo-environmental engineering; environmental fluid dynamics, coastal engineering and hydrodynamics; hydrology and water resources; materials and structures; transportation systems and engineering systems (including information technology, transportation, and infrastructure systems).

EDC - Computer Science at CalTech
Computer Science at Caltech
The computer science department at Caltech consists of a small group of students, faculty and staff. The small size and collegial atmosphere at Caltech facilitates close working relationships among faculty and students, and encourages novel interdisciplinary research. Students are encouraged to tailor their programs of courses and research to fit their specific needs. Students often collaborate on large projects, but each student is treated as an important individual, with unique goals, drives and needs.
Research emphases are in algorithms; communication protocols, concurrent computation, and networks; graphics and human-computer interaction; novel computational substrates, including quantum mechanical computers and molecular computers; VLSI, with a specific emphasis on asynchronous and analog VLSI; high-confidence systems, including fault tolerance, program verification, and security; information theory; learning theory; computer vision; and large-scale scientific computing. Projects frequently involve connections with other disciplines such as Physics, Biology, Mathematics, Mechanics, Control and Dynamical Systems, and Electrical Engineering.
Undergraduates are encouraged to do research. Many have papers in conferences or journals. The opportunity for close collaboration with faculty and graduate students on research, the flexibility of developing your own research and course structure, and outstanding facilities, makes Caltech an ideal environment for motivated undergraduates.
Graduate study in Computer Science is a full-time program. Students are admitted only with the Ph.D. as the degree objective, although an M.S. degree is a required step in the program. Students join a research group and participate in research from the very beginning, so it is important that applicants have a defined area of interest before applying. The first year emphasizes course work and master's thesis research. Students in their second year complete their master's thesis preliminary to the candidacy examination. After passing the candidacy exam, students devote their time to research on the doctoral dissertation. The program requires a minimum of three academic years of residence.
Applications are accepted once per year, no later than January 1st, and reviewed at that time for admission and financial aid for admission the following September. In order for all candidates to receive equal consideration, unofficial evaluations of likelihood admission will not be made. Applications are reviewed after all credentials, including recommendation letters and official copies of test scores, have been received. GRE scores are required, with a subject test of the student's choice strongly recommended. It is strongly recommended that applicants take the GRE in October to allow enough time for Caltech to receive the scores by January. Early submissions are encouraged as application reviews are already in progress in December.
Applications are encouraged from fields other than computer science, but applicants should be aware that the program is mathematically and scientifically oriented. Students who hold a Ph.D. degree from another institution are not normally admitted to graduate standing at Caltech to pursue a second Ph.D. degree.

EDP - Cornell Law School, Cornell University
History"Lawyers in the Best Sense"A Brief History of Cornell Law School
When Andrew Dickson White began to lay plans for a law department at Cornell University, he wrote that he wanted to educate “not swarms of hastily prepared pettifoggers, but a fair number of well-trained, large-minded, morally-based lawyers in the best sense...” He hoped graduates of the school would become “a blessing to the country, at the bar, on the bench, and in various public bodies.”
“We wish the new school success,” the Albany Law Journal noted acidly, when it learned of White’s plans, “but we do not expect it.” There were only a few law schools of any consequence in the country when Cornell’s department admitted its first students in 1887; most young men (they were almost always men) clerked in law offices, and studied on the job.
A high school diploma was not a prerequisite for entry to Cornell’s new department; tuition was $75 a year for three hours of classes a day. Students were thirsty for knowledge: “We had to drive them out of the library at night, and had a hard time answering their questions the next morning,” wrote faculty member Charles Evans Hughes. (Hughes, who later served as chief justice of the Supreme Court, then as secretary of state, said he’d “enjoyed teaching most of all.”)
The school’s growth mirrored that of legal schooling in the country; the number of law students in the U.S. tripled over the next ten years. The law department’s standards rose. By 1917, admission required at least two years of university education. World War I saw a halt in the stream of graduates, but students returned after the Armistice. Legal study was made a graduate degree in 1924, and the department of law became a professional school. In 1925, the trustees voted to give the new institution a new name: Cornell Law School.
By the end of World War II, law students who had fought overseas brought back internationally-scaled aspirations. In response, the Law School entered the arena of international legal studies in earnest.
The faculty grew in strength and numbers over the next thirty years; graduates who had prospered endowed professorships, and research flourished. Classes in legal history and philosophy found places in the catalogue of second- and third-year elective courses. So that students’ more practical legal training might not suffer, the Legal Aid Clinic was established to give students the opportunity to confront real legal problems in the real world; other clinics followed.
Today, students still come to Cornell Law School from nearby upstate New York communities; but most now come from much farther away, Florida, Tulsa, L.A., Santo Domingo, and China. When they graduate, they join major law firms, or corporate law departments; they work as public defenders, or help AIDS victims win discrimination cases; they teach law and publish books. And Andrew White’s dream has grown in a way he could hardly have anticipated, the school’s graduates serve not just this country, but several dozen others, as well. International graduates return to their own countries to posts in government and on the bench. The Albany Law Journal, thankfully, was wrong; the Law School’s success is undisputed.

KSNSD - PhD Programmes at Lancaster University
PhD and research programmes in business and managementAs you would expect from a School with the top rating for research, LUMS has one of the highest ranked and largest doctoral (PhD) programmes for business and management in the world.
Our commitment to high-quality research is demonstrated by the fact that we have over 100 full-time PhD students (and many part-timers too) - drawn from countries all over the world. In January 2007, the Financial Times ranked LUMS second in the UK for the quality of our doctoral programme.
LUMS is a lively research environment in which doctoral students play a full and active part. We welcome enquiries and applications from well-qualified graduates throughout the world who wish to join this thriving research community. We are committed to providing PhD students with a sound foundation in research methodology, and this is reflected in the research training programmes we offer.
To find out about the many options for MPhil and PhD research at LUMS, see Types of PhD Programme.
What is a PhD?The term PhD is short for Doctor of Philosophy. It is frequently referred to as a Doctorate. As a PhD student you will be expected to pursue structured, supervised research into one of the many business-related fields in which the Management School has expertise. The minimum research period for a full-time PhD is 3 years. At the end of this period you will be expected to write an extended thesis, demonstrating evidence of your capacity to pursue scholarly research. The results of your research should make an original contribution to knowledge and be of a standard appropriate for publication.
Why study for a PhD?Before applying for a PhD you need to be sure that you have a keen personal interest in the topic you will be researching - and an interest in the process of research. You will need a strong academic background with a good first degree and the motivation to pursue your research for a minimum of 3 years.
Candidates who complete PhDs typically embark on academic careers; others join research organisations; some join consulting firms and other employers. PhD graduates from Lancaster have obtained senior academic, research and consultancy positions throughout the world - from Kathmandu School of Management, to the University of Malaysia, to HEC Montreal and Middle East Technical University in Turkey, as well as leading business schools throughout the UK.
Increasingly a PhD in business or management is valued in management consultancy and professional research. A PhD from Lancaster University Management School can provide a springboard for careers in these fields. For more information, see our PhD Alumni Profiles.
Other research degreesFor applicants who cannot afford to spend the minimum of 3 years of research necessary for a PhD, or for those who wish to acquire a grounding in research methodologies, we offer MPhil, MA (by research) and MRes degrees. Types of PhD Programme provides more information.

ECP - Thunderbird moves further into East Asia
Thunderbird recently has taken several dramatic steps into the world’s most dynamic growth region – East Asia. The School has a new dual-degree program with a top business school in Taipei; a student exchange program with a Beijing university; a non-degree certificate program in Beijing, Shanghai and other cities; and has hired a director of Regional Initiatives based in Singapore.
“East Asia is one of the world’s most economically dynamic regions,” says Thunderbird President Ángel Cabrera. “By expanding our presence in Asia, we can strengthen the learning options for our students and further solidify our long-standing expertise and presence in this critical market.”
In Taipei, Thunderbird has partnered with Soochow University to offer a dual degree that allows students to earn an MBA from Soochow and a Master of Global Management from Thunderbird. The 2 ½-year program, which begins this fall, requires 30 credits of study the first year at Soochow, followed by 30 credits of study at Thunderbird the second year. Students then return to Soochow, a private university with approximately 13,000 students, to complete their theses in the summer and fall.
The agreement also allows undergraduates in the final semester at Soochow the opportunity to take courses in one of Thunderbird’s new master’s degree programs -- Master of Science in Global Management or Master of Arts in Global Affairs and Management – and for Soochow Executive MBA students to enroll in one of Thunderbird’s Summerim or Winterim courses. Classes for Thunderbird's MA in Global Affairs and Management and the MS in Global Management begin this fall.
During the break between the spring and fall trimesters, Thunderbird offers Summerim and Winterim courses, trip up to 20 days to spots around the world where students have in-depth cultural experiences and private meetings with corporate and political leaders. In January, more than 100 Thunderbird MBA students gathered for Winterims in places like Costa Rica, South Africa, Switzerland, Mexico, China and Jordan.
In March, Thunderbird signed an agreement with the Enterprise Research Institute of the Development Research Center of the State Council of China to offer the School’s first formal non-degree Corporate Learning certificate program in China. “Going Global Entrepreneurially” is a 12-month program for Chinese managers, who will meet several times a month in Beijing, Shanghai and other Chinese cities. The first program begins in September.
Earlier this year, Thunderbird also established an exchange program partnership with Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, one of the most prestigious and selective universities in China, often referred to as the “MIT of China.” The campus is in northwest Beijing, in the Haidian District, which is an area designed for universities, and is on the former site of Qing Dynasty Royal Gardens. The student exchange will begin with the fall trimester.
With the Tsinghua Univeristy parntership, Thunderbird has exchange agreements with more than 15 top business schools around the world. Participating in an exchange program satisfies the Thunderbird Global Experience, which requires that a student have at least one study-abroad internship outside their home country.
In an effort to further expand its Asian operations, Thunderbird named Michele von Rautenkranz ‘88 as director of Regional Initiatives, Southeast Asia. Rautenkranz has responsibility for Thunderbird activities in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Brunei and Singapore, where she will be based.
