Presentation of SDSU Electrical Engineering Labs at TSU
Two new electrical engineering labs equipped with modern technologies were opened at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (TSU) for the students of San Diego State University (SDSU) programs. Rector of TSU, Giorgi Sharvashidze; Managing Director of Millennium Challenge Corporation, Katerina Ntep; Deputy Minister of Education and Science of Georgia, Alexander Tevzadze; CEO of Millennium Challenge Account – Georgia, Magda Magradze; Dean of San Diego State University Georgia, Halil Guven, students and honorary guests from Georgia and the United States attended the event.
Rector of TSU, Giorgi Sharvashidze said that “two modern labs will enable our students to acquire international-level knowledge, to gain necessary skills and become competitive. After completing their studies, students will receive dual diplomas from San Diego State University and Tbilisi State University. We are glad that a lot of female students are studying on the engineering program.”
Dean of San Diego State University Georgia, Halil Guven said that “development of STEM fields and improvement of infrastructure at partner universities are important tasks of our project. I am glad that we have opened electrical engineering labs at TSU, which represent analogs to high-technology labs at San Diego State University.” He also noted that students will have an opportunity to use theoretical knowledge in practice and become professionals.
“Electrical engineering labs were opened within the framework of the project funded by Millennium Challenge Corporation, which envisages getting American higher education in Georgia. As a result, young people will have an opportunity to be competitive on international market,” Deputy Minister of Education and Science of Georgia, Alexander Tevzadze said.
Managing Director of Millennium Challenge Corporation, Katerina Ntep noted that such infrastructure was very important for the both universities, because it was important for STEM programs to use theoretical knowledge in practice. She also noted that MCC was implementing the second compact in Georgia and that the key goal of the second compact was to improve the quality of education in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields.
An area of 1700 square meters has been rehabilitated and equipped with modern technologies in the 11th Building of TSU; classrooms, computer and electrical engineering labs are located there. Auditoriums, engineering, science and computer labs designed for the SDSU programs have been equipped under the criteria of San Diego State University in the United States. This will enable students to get ready for successful careers in science, technology and engineering fields.
