印度理工学院两名本科生申请在中国假期留学

前几天，收到两名印度理工大学本科生的电子邮件，申请在我的指导下在西安理工大学进行以参加项目的假期实习留学。这是首次知道假期实习留学这种形式。在我校目前除过印刷包装学院正在培养德国的大学交换留学生，以前经济与管理学院培养过越南的政府留学生外，还没有招收过留学生。

印度理工大学是印度最著名的工程和研究大学。在印度也有类似中国的“挑战杯”大学生科研活动。申请者之一已经完成了一个项目的研究，另外正在参加了一个项目的科研活动。发表国际会议论文一篇，审查论文一篇。

不知到国际上目前是否流行假期实习留学。现在正在向学校了解接收假期实习留学的可能性。

Application for Undergraduate Research- Summer Internship (May- July 2014)

Respected Prof. Ning, L.-Z.,

          I am a 3rd Year Civil Engineering Undergraduate student at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bhubaneswar, India accredited to be a premier institute of engineering and research in India, looking for the possibility of obtaining a Summer Internship during May-July 2014.

        I would be very grateful if you could give a chance to work under you and in your esteemed university for this summer.  I have gone through some of your publications, found interesting in technical and research aspects. I am looking for a challenging opportunity to do summer internship in the field of Hydraulics for the period of May-July, 2014 and I am very keen to pursue the same under your able guidance. The work may be any project that you are working upon or planning to do or anything else that you may deem fit for me. I also thank you very much for taking time to go through this email.

         I am presently working on a project “Study and improvement of different properties of Self Compacting concrete reinforced with steel fibers” under the guidance of Dr. P. Dinakar, Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Bhubaneswar. I have completed a project on "Behavior of Masonry assemblages made of soft bricks under compression" under the guidance of Dr. S.Suriya Prakash (Assistant Professor), Department of Civil, IIT Hyderabad. I have successfully modified the existing model and proposed a model for predicting the strain corresponding to peak stress of Prism under compression and research paper on this topic was published in International Conference for Structural Engineering and Mechanics held in December, 2013. I have also reviewed a paper on "Mechanism of Corrosion of Steel in Reinforced Concrete members".

       Apart from having an excellent academic record with a CGPA of 8.70/10, I have been active in various activities in my institute. I possess good inter-personal communication skills and I wish to develop cross cultural relationships. My other academic achievements and extra-curricular activities are listed in my Curriculum vitae.

        I went through your profile and your field of research interests me very much. I have seen the journal "An approximation solution of the hydraulic jump equation in the rectangular expanding channel" of your work and it made me curious to further my knowledge and experience. I am keen to pursue Internship under your able guidance. I promise my commitment and perseverance required for Internship and believe that my aptitude and motivation will help me successfully face the challenge.

        To give you a better sense of my qualifications, I am sending my CV. Since I have the time up to April, 2014 at hand, I can also come prepared with any reading you may suggest. As I am willing to do further studies after my under graduation, I find that this opportunity would make me achieve the above mentioned under your guidance and carrying on the research further.

       I would like to thank you for spending your valuable time in going through my application. I would be willing to provide you any other details and references, which you may require for the same.

       Anticipating an encouraging reply.  

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,
