Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2017, China announced plans to assist with the construction of a technical institute in Bangladesh. China sent advisers to provide technical support in order to establish the institute, but it is unclear which Chinese entity sent them. The technical institute, with special focus on power engineering courses, will be set up under the supervision of Bangladesh China Institute of Technology (BCIT) and Lanzhou Jiaotong University of China. Under the course, students will study first two years in Dhaka at Stamford University and last two years at Lanzhou Jiaotong University in China for getting first hand practical training with modern lab facilities. The power engineering course following Chinese curriculum started in 2018 January.
