1938, when the Japanesearmy occupied Tsinghua campus, EAA faculty and students retreated with the entire university tosouthwest China (Kunming), yet most of the laboratory equipment was left behind. When theDepartment of EEA returned to Tsinghua campus in 1946, the Electrical Engineering Buildingremained intact, yet no laboratory equipment was preserved.An option in Aeronautical Engineering was started by Professors S.C. Wang and K.L. Feng, whilethe origin of aeronautical engineering can be traced to Theodore von Kármán’s first visit toTsinghua in 1929, during which he made an unsuccessful pitch of the importance of aviationengineering to Tsinghua leadership. In 1932, aeronautical engineering was introduced to TsinghuaUniversity as a part of

literature that international students face different challengeswhen compared with domestic students [11]. One of the challenges includes engaging in a newacademic environment [2] and the academic challenges that come alongside that. Thesechallenges can be discipline-specific and are often unaddressed by the larger school-wide supportsystems. For example, understanding where to get tutoring support for specific technical classesor the differences between laboratory and lecture-based courses. Discipline-specific academicadvisors do offer this support to students, but many international students aren’t sure whatsupport they should be seeking in terms of academic items. Additionally, items such asmismatched writing strategies from a home country to the

, and selfies represented the lowest three categories. The topcategories show that engineering study abroad programs are more focused on engineers’definitive work via images of structures, bridges, campus infrastructures and designs,laboratories, factories, communal interventions through community projects, and thesustainability of nature, etc.). While the bottom categories do not present a significant attachmentto engineering, they account for the pride of students’ experience from visiting places, getting toexperience the heritage of host countries, and the institution’s prestige. When separated, someinstitutions produced a higher number of images in some categories than others. For example,MRU1 produced the highest number of images in the
