two universities created a major strategic partnershipagreement in 2005 to jointly establish an institute called UM-SJTU Joint Institute (JI) which is acollege of SJTU located on its main campus in China. The JI offers a Mechanical Engineering(ME) program and an Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) program. Upon the officialapproval by the Ministry of Education of China, the institute was publically launched in April2006 in Shanghai. Its first cohort of undergraduate students entered in September 2006. Atestablishment of the JI, it has been designated a pilot for China’s higher education reform andshouldered the task of experimenting various aspects of the US higher educational system andfinding a working model(s) that can be exploited

The author ismore convinced now than ever, that classroom reformation, including deployment of activelearning strategies, would happen only if the institution mandates it!The Pros and Cons of the Lecture FormatWhen asked why he/she lectures, one faculty responded: “It is a tradition. It was part of mytraining, and seems to dwell in me and seems like what I should be doing. I feel guilty when Iam not lecturing” (13).

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.
