proposedactions to reality to answer: is China predictable?Five Principles of Peaceful ExistenceChina and Latin America have been developing relations since the 1950’s1. Zhou Enlai, PrimeMinister of China in the early 1950’s, “suggested setting the Five Principles as a base forestablishing friendly, cooperative relations between countries of different social systems2. TheFive Principles are: 1) mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, 2) mutual non-aggression, 3) non-interference in each other's internal affairs, 4) equality and mutual benefit,and 5) peaceful coexistence. Using the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, China hassuccessfully established diplomatic relations with 21 Latin American and Caribbean countries.Today, China

Students listen, take notes, and are allowed to ask questions at the end of the lecture orduring office hours. There seem to be less interest (by most of the faculty interviewed) in theprocess by which the course content is delivered during the lecture period, and more of a concernwhether the rate of delivery would allow the instructor to finish the course on time. The viewsexpressed by the faculty and the impression(s) arrived at by the author, leads one to believe thatit is highly unlikely that new more effective teaching-learning strategies would be deployed anytime soon, unless drastic measures are

specialcategories will be pointed out to the employment concerned students.The goal of this study is to motivate and lure interested students to enroll in engineering andtechnology majors in order to avoid technical labor shortage crisis that the nation demands anddeserves.IntroductionThe problem of reduced enrollment and the consequent drop of the B. S. degrees since 1985points to a potential shortage of engineers and technologists in the near future causing harm andstagnation to the industry. It is also established that the monumental growth and sweepingchanges in engineering and technology will keep on shaping our society throughout the 21stcentury as we have already entered into economic globalization1. It is the concern of the
