Because only three universities in China have nuclear engineering departments, the University's program provides a much-needed resource to support commercial nuclear safety in China. The CNNC currently operates three nuclear power plants in China, with as many as 30-40 more scheduled to be opened in the next 20 years.
Participants, who will move to Ann Arbor to take classes, must meet University admissions standards. The CNNC will choose candidates for the program. The program will offer master's degrees to students who complete the program.
Bier will be joined by Art and Design assistant Prof. Jamy Sheridan, an artist who creates dynamic computer-generated carpet-like patterns of light and color.
They will discuss designing patterns, and how their different fields overlap, at noon tomorrow in room 1524 of the Rackham School of Graduate Studies. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Scheduled to begin at noon in front of the U.S. Post Office at Liberty Street and Fourth Avenue, the parade will last five blocks and end at Main Street and William Street.
High school band members will lead the kids, who will play kazoos. The parade will also include fire engines, floats, animals and buses. A petting zoo will be waiting at the end of the parade route.
After the parade, hot chocolate and cookies will be provided at the Real Seafood Co. restaurant for all marchers. No reservations are necessary to participate.
The exhibition contains 100 selected drawings from the museum's collection, showcasing the changing style of drawings in Europe and the United States from 1300 to the present.
A special Sunday tour of the collection will also be held on Dec. 13 and Jan. 17.
The program costs $10 and will be held tomorrow from 6-8 p.m. in the lower level conference room of the East Ann Arbor Health Center.
The lecture is part of the center's weekly noon lecture series and will be held this Thursday in conference room 1636 of the International Institute.
