On May 30, a satisfying period was put at the end of the scheduled checkups on the dissertation topics chosen for 2007 ME students sent to SME by CNPC.

    In addition to the director of ME Center, two acting program leaders and relevant advisors from SME, officers from CNPE and several representatives from several national ministries were all present.
