Learning ——A case of a certain Engineering College in ChinaAbstract:University innovation is a crucial component of building an “innovative country.” Theinnovation of university students constructed the university innovation system. Therefore,cultivating undergraduate students’ ability towards scientific literacy and creating aninnovative environment is especially crucial. To address the problem of undergraduates' lackof self-innovation consciousness and scientific research ability in the conventional talenttraining process that focuses on intensive lectures and is evaluated by the paper test. In thisarticle, through literature research and case studies, taking a certain engineering collegelocated in Beijing, China as an

Opportunities taken, and opportunities lostare a function of those mores; for some a decision will be an opportunity to be taken, and forothers it will be an opportunity lost.This study confirms the importance of “culture” in educational decision making, be it interms of career choice, institutional status, or curriculum and teaching.Following a brief introduction, essentially a short precis of paper 1, answers to fourteenquestions derived from the philosophy of the Percy Report, and other elements of itsdiscussion are given in the light

Therefore,there is a need for systematic training in the current curriculum to equip students withcomprehensive knowledge in cutting-edge topics such as 3D printing. The impact of 3D printingis steadily increasing in the world including the chemical engineering profession. 3D printing, or 2additive manufacturing, has become an enabling technology in traditional chemical engineeringprocesses (developing internals for process plant equipment) and emerging areas such

Professional associations have an essential role in upholding ethics and shapingpractice as they “are often responsible for maintaining professionalism and integrity among theirmembers” [22]. As stated by Marchant [39], “professional societies use a variety of soft lawinstruments to try to regulate and influence the conduct of their members, including guidelines,ethical codes of conduct, best practices, and model rules”(p. 183). Engineering ethics educatorsoften discuss their field’s professional codes in classrooms making engineering students aware ofthe existence and the content of the codes. As stated by Nair and Bulleit [40], “When we think ofteaching engineering ethics, good

Through two rounds of searching relevant journalsand article databases, we identified four sources of barriers to CAD software: gender bias in CAD andmechanical engineering; lack of current representation and community for women; gender disparities inspatial reasoning skills; and self-efficacy of individuals. We also found three areas where differentframings and techniques can position CAD to be leveraged to be an enabler to improve genderrepresentation: course design, outreach activities, and general considerations in engineering.The literature findings were synthesized and brought into two strategic approaches that describe how theresults can be integrated into the current state of CAD learning and engineering

Under the current model, faculty are often asked to retrofit theircourse for a particular student after the course has already been developed, which can be a verydifficult undertaking [43]. While some faculty members desire education on how their teachingstyle affects learners, such educational resources are often difficult to access [63]. Withoutresources on how to provide an inclusive education, faculty are often unsure what access needsstudents may have (especially those with disabilities and even more so with invisible disabilities)and how those needs could be met [63].PurposeResponding to this paucity in the current body of knowledge, this paper seeks to
