Considering theimpact of students’ epistemic thinking on their academic performance, this study focuses onunderstanding the impact of international collaborative engineering education uponengineering students’ epistemic thinking. To achieve this goal, we examine engineeringstudents from an international joint program.Context of the StudyThe international joint program described here aims to help Chinese engineering studentsdevelop different global competencies through various in-class and out-of-class activities.The SPEIT (SJTU-ParisTech Elite Institute of Technology) program was established underthe strategic alliance of the Paris Tech Group and SJTU on 2012. The whole education lasts 6years, composed by two cycles (Figure 1

engineering significantly increased immediately after the Engineers Weekevent. This finding agrees with those reported in much of the literature1-13. Although,there is a significant drop in student interest in studying engineering one year afterparticipation in the Engineers Week activities, the percentage of students interested inengineering one year after the event was still higher than the percentage found in theinitial pre-exposure results. What is the reason for this decrease in interest? Based on theone-year after survey results, 11.5% (22 out of 192) of students said they had participatedin some other engineering-related activities during that year. These activities includedscience events held in another university, drafting and technology

Womenwho pursued careers in mathematics, sciences, and technology consistently reported that themessages sent to them about capabilities in these male-dominated fields served as crucial sourcesof their self-efficacy21, a finding echoed in interviews conducted by Hutchison et al.15 withsecond-year engineering students. Other researchers have shown more generally that beingencouraged by peers and faculty makes students more likely to put forth effort and persevere intheir majors4, 11, 15.Fewer studies have focused on examining the influential role of emotional and physiologicalstates on the students’ sense of efficacy in engineering.
