About us: The Global College of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, formerly known as the UM-SJTU Joint Institute (JI), was founded in 2006, following a strategic partnership between the University of Michigan (UM) and Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU). The goal is to develop the College into a world-class institution for engineering education. The College is recognized as an exemplar of Sino-Foreign collaboration in higher education. In 2014, the institute received the prestigious Andrew Heiskell Award for “Innovation in International Education” from the Institute of International Education (IIE).
