They save on salariesof the faculty by employing teaching staff on a part-time basis or by relying on teachers fromalready established public universities. The private universities are very often linked withuniversities abroad. This connection helps the students to move to USA, Canada, UK, Australia,Germany, Japan etc. for higher studies. Even though all the private universities startedfunctioning in hired premises for classrooms, laboratories and offices, they started buildingcampuses using the interest from the certificates of deposits (CD) of the profits3

and so the books did not enjoywide circulation8.Historical ContextHistorically, formal education in China focused on the study of literature, philosophy, andhistory in order to prepare students for the national civil service examinations. Success in thecivil service examinations opened up a career among the ruling elite in the governmentbureaucracy. Preparation for the examinations focused particularly on the study of the Confucianclassics9, 10. Based on the teachings of Confucius, a philosopher who lived in the 5th century BC,the Confucian classics where collections of writings by his disciples and other latercommentators. Although perhaps not technically a religion, Confucianism provided a moralstructure for society and elevated virtue over

databases (OODB). Usingan OODB allows a developer to store objects in the database as objects rather than mapping their data into a relational structure [2]. Asecond approach, usually referred to as the Object-Relational (ORDB) approach, has required modifying or extending the relational modelto allow complex data to be stored in the database. This is accomplished through a data structure called a user defined data types (UDT)[3]. Many of the ORDB concepts have been incorporated into the SQL 1999 standard [4].2. BACKGROUNDOur teaching experience indicates to us that most students understand relational database concepts quite quickly. But, understandingObject Relational and Object-Oriented database concepts is more challenging for many of them. It

programwhich will facilitate the sharing of information and resourcesBackground: The turn of the century brought with it a paradigm shift in engineering education. Thecommonly employed lecture based pedagogy of the 20th century is being replaced by variousexperiential teaching strategies. Part of the motivation for this change in pedagogy is inresponse to the changing needs of today’s students. Many of the engineering students today havevery little hands-on engineering experience and have been trained to learn differently as a resultof multi media and other technology. Another motivator for the change in pedagogy isassociated with a change in the engineering profession. Engineers today need not only betechnically sound, but also have good
