It is also important for our students to have an awareness of global challenges facingengineers in the 21st century and intercultural differences that may influence communication and Page 25.829.2success in meeting those

response at the interview. Interviewing is time consuming for the interviewee andthe interviewer. A one hour interview will typically take four hours to transcribe andsummarise for an experienced interviewer and much longer for an inexperienced one.Ethical approval is also necessary with anonymity for interviewees normally required.This means colourful or individual quotes, which might accidentally identify a source,must often be omitted. The basic ethical requirement is that no harm can be allowed tocome to sources because of their contribution to your research[8]. The standards ofpropriety have been raised in this area in recent years and the idea that you can let thedata speak for itself whilst allowing harm to somebody’s reputation or

– dominated hierarchy, similar to a contemporary university,the most valuable relationships an individual has are the ones that are defined by theinstitution. Being a full professor holds more status, and is “better” than being anassociate professor; likewise, from an ethical perspective, many times titles even dictatewho can talk to whom. In such a hierarchy, a professor must always first talk to hisdepartment Chair before broaching a controversial subject with the Dean. Thoughindependent relationships have some value within the university, for the most part,students are on the bottom, and faculty and administrators are on the top.Contrast to an entrepreneurial company. There, independent relationship formation, if itresults in company success, does

Teachers’ awareness of students’ cultures can betterequip them to interact with diverse students [12]. The plurality in culturally responsive teachingtheory reflects cultural synergies within the class, developed from the notion that race, class,culture, ethnicity, and gender shape the diverse students’ learning styles, requiring multipleinstructional strategies for the common learning outcomes [12]. Therefore, cultural synergies canbe viewed from three aspects. It requires various teaching techniques in class to accommodatevarious students’ learning styles; it is reflected on relevant curriculum by locally
