Mohamed S. El-Aasser appreciated Tongji s warm reception. He said there were lots of commons between Lehigh University and Tongji University, both focusing on engineering education and international exchange between teachers and students. He hoped that the two universities could build more cooperation projects in varied fields including student and teacher exchange, science cooperation, besides the current cooperation with the College of Civil Engineering.
