The Straits Times (Singapore) - July 3, 2008
So what if economists say the continents are decoupling, young Americans figure the future is pretty much entwined. More American students than ever are heading to universities in Asia, including in Singapore, to get up close and personal with the big growth story. Among other things, they hope the experience will give them an edge at the workplace. 'As the world becomes more globalised, I will probably be interacting more and more with Asians at work,' said Ms Shayna Brownstein, 21, an industrial-engineering student at Georgia Tech's H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering and one of 30 students from the college who did a short-term study programme at the National University of Singapore. After 51/2 weeks in Singapore, she was headed to Beijing for a similar programme at Qinghua University before returning home to Atlanta.
