Second, what impact did EC2000 have on organizational policiesand practices, educational policies and practices that helped improve student learningoutcomes? A large amount of evidence collected in the research showed that theimplementation of the EC2000 had a positive impact on engineering programs, studentexperience, and student learning.In response to the enthusiastic attention of the China’s government and society to the qualityassurance in engineering education s, the Higher Education Teaching Evaluation Center ofthe Ministry of Education, together with the Beijing University of Aeronautics andAstronautics, and Tsinghua University, have

moresignificant visits to the community provided a huge benefit. Also, having a long-standingrelationship with the partner community was also strongly beneficial.Fitting the EDW project into the single semester so that it could “count” as a required capstonecourse in the BS-degree curricula was helpful. However, this resulted in attracting fewerstudents outside the capstone major(s), in contrast to the year-long EDW course the first year.However, since all of the EDW students in year 1 were already interested in the developingworld as evidenced by their EWB-CU participation, fitting the EDW project into the typicalcapstone course allowed a broader range of students to experience this type of project. Also, notall students are interested in participating

A shift to integrating information, computational, and communications technology in educationIn the 50’s, industry demands for engineers required a change in the process of training andeducation of engineers. Engineering curricula and other phases of college programs were modifiedto provide an alignment between colleges and industry [4]. This evolution of the discipline movedacademic institutions to have a more dynamic and adaptive curriculum. During the last twodecades, technology has been one of the most important supports for engineering development,requiring engineers from many

themselves come from a demand forinnovation, not just an interest or conventional idea for an encapsulating project. Generally, theprojects come from one of two places. Most commonly, MUSE faculty (along with theconnections they have made in their previous endeavors and continued careers) generatepotential projects that will push students to innovate and create new solutions for real-worldproblems. Alternatively, students have the option of finding their own project to work on bycontacting companies for industry-based projects. As long as the project is approved by thestudents’ advising professor(s), the project can be pursued. The requirement of finding actualvalue in the project, outside of being a grade, is an essential start to creating a real
. Since 1950-s, there was intensive international cooperation inthe area of training Vietnamese students in Soviet universities for industrial companies inVietnam. Training of students was accompanied by academic mobility of Soviet engineerswho contributed to the implementation of industrial projects in Vietnam.The decay of the Soviet Union resulted in drop in the number of joint projects in engineeringeducation. Vietnamese students also shifted their focus to other countries (such as the U.S.)offering a good system of engineering education.
