In January 2011, the two universities signed a cooperation framework agreement and an agreement for HS Ostfalia to accept mechanical students from Jiao Tong University to pursue a master's degree. The School of Mechanical Engineering at Southwest Jiaotong University has formed a specialized Sino German cooperation team, with the German side setting up a dedicated team of professors to be responsible for Sino German cooperation projects. Over the past 15 years, both teams have never stopped and have continuously expanded the scope and depth of cooperation. Currently, Sino German cooperation has reached a higher level. Over the past 15 years, both parties have mainly carried out the following work:

1. Both parties have provided assistance to students' German language learning for 15 consecutive years to promote cooperation between the two schools;

2. For 15 consecutive years, both parties have organized working groups to assess and select hundreds of students, successfully sending 47 students from our school, master's, and doctoral programs to pursue graduate studies or joint training at HS Ostfalia in Germany; Covering three colleges: Mechanical, Electrical, and Information;

3. In 2014, the dSpace semi physical simulation control laboratory of Southwest Jiaotong University was jointly established to assist students going to Germany in participating in control training and familiarizing themselves with the training mode of German industry education integration and the combination of theory and practice of science education integration;

4. A mechanism for mutual visits between professors and scholars has been established, with more than 20 exchanges and visits between the two sides. Southwest Jiaotong University has also sent more than 10 people to Germany for exchange and learning for three months or more through CSC or school support;

5. In 2016, a tripartite platform was signed between Jiaotong University, HS Ostfalia, and Leshan High tech Zone: Sichuan (Leshan) Sino German Science and Technology Promotion Center, which was selected as a key platform for cooperation between Sichuan Province and Southwest Jiaotong University by the Provincial Talent Office. Graduates from Dresden University of Technology were introduced to promote Sino German cooperation, focusing on technology and education cooperation services between China and Germany;

6. In 2017, the two sides held three rounds of consultations on Sino German cooperation in education and joint scientific research with the Emeishan government and Leshan High tech Zone. At the same time, they planned the Sino German Engineering College at Southwest Jiaotong University, which covers undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs;

7. Successfully applied for the Sino foreign cooperation project "Research on Active Guidance Technology for Independent Rotating Wheels of Rail Vehicles Based on dSPACE" by the Science and Technology Department of Sichuan Province in 2019; Applied for the Sino German Joint National Natural Science Foundation project in 2020; In 2020, the assistant school successfully applied for the first batch of 40 million yuan industry education integration projects in Sichuan Province based on the construction ideas of three Sino German talent special zones: research, technology, and skills.

8. In 2021, Vice Dean Tian Huaiwen and Associate Professor Tang Yang from Southwest Jiaotong University successfully applied for the International Innovation Talent Program of the China Scholarship Council with the support of HS Ostfalia. They can send 10 people to HS Ostfalia in Germany as visiting scholars for scientific research work annually, and currently receive 6 graduate students from our university for joint training;

9. From September 2023 to January 2024, Cornelia Link, an exchange student from Germany, will be accepted to study Industrial Engineering at the School of Mechanical Engineering;

10. On April 22, 2024, both parties signed a "2+3" joint bachelor's degree training program agreement between the two universities. The German side can accept 8 mechanical related 2nd year students from our university each year, and our university can accept 8 German exchange students.
