为开拓本科生国际视野，学院持续推进与海外一流高校合作，开展多样化的海外交流项目。今年因受全球疫情影响，海外出行仍然暂缓。为使本科生仍能体验海外全英文课程，开拓国际学术视野，现组织开展南洋理工大学暑期线上课程。
南洋理工大学（Nanyang Technological University，NTU），是新加坡的一所世界著名研究型大学，其在纳米材料、生物材料、功能性陶瓷和高分子材料等许多领域的研究享有世界盛名。2020年综合QS排名世界第11位，材料学科QS排名第3位。
一、申请对象
全体本科生（主要面向2021级本科生）
二、项目时间
8月20日-8月27日
三、项目费用
参照相关规定，顺利完成项目经认定后可获得第四课堂学分，并按照学校和学院政策对本项目全额资助。但无故屡次缺勤或态度不认真的学生将不予资助。
四、学分认定
根据本科生院规定，所有本科生均要取得第四课堂学分，才准予毕业。第四课堂学分认定需在校期间有至少一次出国（境）经历，受疫情影响今年参加本次线上课程亦可继续认定第四课堂学分，且不影响今后出国（境）的机会和资助名额。表现优异者，可优先推荐参加今后院级出国（境）交流项目。
