Tongji University, the city's famous institution of higher learning in architecture, oceanography and automobiles, is moving to establish a music college on campus. The project is arousing considerable public interest.
The film academy built last year at Tongji University has enrolled its first group of undergraduates.  Now the university is negotiating with the Department of Music from the Carnegie-Mellon University (CMU) on the issues of cooperative contracts to develop highly talented graduates with dual-degrees in both Music and Engineering.
"The development of cultural and social sciences appears to be more urgent in an engineering university while its own specialties are flourishing," indicates Wan Gang, a principal from Tongji University.
It's been a trend for an engineering university to invite the arts onto its campus.  Zhu Yiming, vice section director with the municipal educational science institution, explained that the market would be the best place to inspect the success of and necessity for a new specialty.
