Georgia Tech-Shenzhen
CEE offers programs for undergraduate and graduate students at GT-Shenzhen, Georgia Tech’s degree-granting campus located in Shenzhen, China. Shenzhen is a vibrant, high-tech city with a population of more than 13 million known as the “Silicon Valley of China.”
Sustainability Study Abroad
Offered for the first time in Fall 2023, this semester-long study abroad program features CEE courses taught in English by faculty at GT-Shenzhen. The program will also include sustainability-themed field trips, including visits to coastal wetland reserves and restoration sites, a wastewater treatment plant, waste-to-energy generation facility, and an electric vehicle design and production company. Students will also have opportunities for Chinese language and cultural immersion. Contact Program Director and Professor Jian Luo: jian.luo@ce.gatech.edu for more details.
MS in Environmental Engineering
The MS in Environmental Engineering program is one of five graduate degrees offered at GT-Shenzhen. Admission and requirements for the master’s degree are the same as those at the Atlanta campus. Students in Atlanta and Shenzhen have the option to exchange, further enhancing their global experiences.
