王 应 宽 2010-11-16 UTC-6 CST UMN, St Paul MN, USA 即将南巡：访问衣阿华州立大学和约翰迪尔 我曾写过博文介绍了中国首批赴美留学学习农业工程的 20 人，其中 10 人就在我现在访学的明尼苏达大学学习农业工程（偏重农机），另外 10 人在衣阿华州立大学（ Iowa State University ）学习农业工程（农艺）。为探寻农业工程前辈当年的求学足迹，打算方便时南巡，前往位于 St Paul 南边 Ames 的衣阿华州立大学访问交流。顺便也去农机装备制造巨头约翰迪尔公司参观学习。 衣阿华州立大学的农业与生物系统工程系在全美列前几位，很多的研究处于国际领先地位。经过导师、朋友介绍以及我自己的联系，已经确定要拜访十余位相关的专家教授。主要到农业与生物工程系和食品系参观学习。约翰迪尔公司是农业机械领域的领头羊，其产品遍及全球，无处不在。在中国的天津、佳木斯（已经参观）和宁波都建有公司和工厂。其生产的拖拉机、联合收获机等不仅性能卓越，外观也很出众。因明天要起早乘坐灰狗（ Greyhound ）赶路，在此不多说，等参观回来后再详细介绍。参观交流的行程附后，参照执行。 Itinerary of Yingkuans visit to ISU and John Deere 1 Nov.16, Tuesday, Take Greyhound from St Paul to Ames 11/16/10 10:35am JL-0910 * Depart ST PAUL, MN 11/16/10 11:00am JL-0910 * Arrive MINNEAPOLIS, MN 11/16/10 11:30am JL-0803 * Depart MINNEAPOLIS, MN 11/16/10 04:55pm JL-0803 * Arrive AMES, IA (ISU Memorial Union Hotel) -------------Return Trip to ST PAUL, MN------------- 11/20/10 12:20am JL-0802 * Depart AMES, IA 11/20/10 05:00am JL-0802 * Arrive ST PAUL, MN Meet Dr. Philip Gassman, and he will drive me to Super 8.
