theaim of introducing them to the different approaches that engineers, scientists and policy makersbring to problem solving in order to promote a more methodical approach to the creation ofpublic policy and a more comprehensive consideration of constraints to engineeringimplementation in solving societal problems.In designing a course that would contribute to the development of leaders and decision makersfor a technology-driven future, we determined that, a dynamic learning environment consistingof lectures, group projects and discussions, guest speakers (practitioners from the differentfields), and experiential learning to inform the final project, was critical. This type of learningenvironment would be conducive to learning outcomes whereby

problem solving, based on the learning process, emphasizes thecross-integration of multiple technologies, and takes cultivating talents withcomprehensive scientific literacy and creative, practical ability as its fundamentalgoal[6]. It can be seen that STEM education is not simply an interdisciplinary courseformed by combining disciplines in form, nor is it just project-based learning thatfocuses on practical and hands-on ability[7].STEM education is centred on realproblems in real situations[8], and it flexibly uses the knowledge of various disciplinesof inquiry learning, has the characteristics of interdisciplinary, real situation andcooperation and communication[9].2.2 History of STEM education Historically, STEM education originated in

the number of available researchers to carry out projects at theforefront of a specific field of inquiry. Faculty at all institutions are obviously recruited from thePhD granting institutions and consequently have typically spent four or more years conductingadvanced research usually on grant money, have authored papers and reports based on theirwork, and therefore enter the academic world already aware of, and presumably now able toexecute on their own, similar projects.However, other factors come in to play. Some new hires in non-PhD granting programs arespecifically drawn to such schools because they are more interested in teaching what they knowto undergraduates than they are in directing graduate students in research work. Others

become a commonconcern in China's higher education sector, including the engineering education sector.At the same time, the reform of engineering education is also facing the problem oftilting heavily towards scientification and becoming more and more detached from"engineering" itself. The solution is to introduce the "The Idea of Large-ScaleEngineering", so that engineering education in China can return to engineering [28 .In January 2000, the Ministry of Education (MOE) approved the first batch of 670projects for undergraduate education teaching reform. The aim of the project is to adaptto the needs of China's modernization in the new century, to cultivate high-qualitytalents with innovative spirit, practical ability and entrepreneurial spirit
