A reference letter from university professor（I am apply for engineering graduate program in US） To whom it may concern I am writing, with great pleasure, to recommend Ms. Shuting DU for her application to your esteemed graduate program. As a professor working in the School of Electronic Science & Engineering at Southeast University, I am responsible for both conducting research projects and teaching courses.   Shuting was one of the students in the course Introduction to MEMS introduction. I lectured in the second semester of her junior year. This course takes microelectronics as the main subject, and combines solid state electronics, engineering mechanics and mechanical engineering, thus forming interdisciplinary research.    Shuting’s academic performance during the time of the course was quite impressive. She is a quick learner, which can be reflected by her active and correct response to my proposed questions in class. Moreover, she can effectively combine theoretical knowledge with various factors in the real environment, completing the design tasks well in the group discussion and presenting her own ideas clearly. Additionally, she is diligent and inquisitive. After class, she would often take the initiative to ask questions related to exclusive concepts, design methods, practicability, and put forward her own ideas. It is clear that when absorbing new knowledge, Shuting is good at thinking and coming up with creative ideas, even though some of them are not very implementable and operational. This is a good indication of her excellence, as very few students could have such great performance like her.   Furthermore, Shuting has favorably impressed me by her strong technical skills in practice. In an assignment requiring the completion of layout drawing, for example, she was able to learn how to use L-Edit on her own and accomplished the layout fabrication after comprehensively considering spatial design, hierarchical design, and other factors. This shows that she has a deep understanding of layout hierarchy, functions and design steps, and can use the software skillfully, which demonstrates her abundant hands-on experience and strong learning ability.   Therefore, I am confident that Ms. Shuting DU will make remarkable achievements in your graduate program. I, hereby, give my best support to her application and hope you will take serious consideration of that. If there is any question regarding her, please do not hesitate to contact me.   Sincerely,   MQ
