civil ethics. A good engineer first had to bea good citizen and responsible for the civil society.However, this separation of Confucian liberal learning from technique may also bring challengesto engineering education practice in contemporary China. On one hand, Confucianism stillimpacts Chinese thinking and actions in personal and professional life. On the other hand, somefundamental ideas and assumptions embedded in the Western engineering education posechallenges to Confucian traditions of teaching and learning which are remain evident in Chineseclassrooms. For example, it remains unclear how team-based, active, and student-centeredpedagogies in Western engineering education can be adapted for “Confucian classrooms” and“Confucian learners

WorkOur future work includes conducting simulation experiments on students populations of differentuniversities (e.g. teaching vs. research and state vs private). As stated in the Related Work,several factors can affect the student’s academic retention. Therefore depression data can not beused solely to inform a student’s future behavior. We will investigate adding agent domainattributes to the model (e.g. income, marital status and medical history, gender or ethnicity), andexamine how the model will behave.AcknowledgementsWe thank the anonymous reviewers for their useful comments and suggestions.

second problem ex-ists by Knuth’s design: choosing a source document from which LP tools produce both sourcecode and a formatted document prevents direct modification of either the source code or the for-matted document, isolating authors from the writing they must do. For these reasons, no literateprogramming tool has gained widespread acceptance in the programming community or for sus-tained pedagogical use.This last point is substantiated by noting that most education-focused research using literate pro-gramming tools took place in the 1990s. Efforts in this area include using LP tools to grade home-work submissions8, teach programming9 (with success, but accompanied by student complaintsabout the difficulty of LP tools), or write better

By design, CMs also offer flexibility for students to explore the relationships betweencourse and lived experiences, offering assessment opportunities to determine what students bringinto a course and what they take with them as they progress through the curriculum. Further,concept mapping is widely accepted as encouraging improved learning experiences incomparison to, or in conjunction with, traditional teaching methods [2]. However, concept maps are less well understood as an approach to understandknowledge acquisition and competency for representing complex and dynamic interactionsbetween socio-cultural and technological systems. . a static body of knowledge from a textbook.Learning assessments are confounded by such ambiguity

and equips one to apply that knowledge in appropriate ways.Steve Abram1 says that information becomes knowledge through learning. This could be extended to say thatknowledge becomes wisdom through learning. Learning can use a variety of methods as shown in the pyramidof learning (Figure 1) developed by E. J. Wood of National Training Laboratory, Bethel Maine Campus2. Thepyramid shows various methods of learning and corresponding knowledge retention rates for average students.Merely attending lectures is the least effective method. Self-reading and use of audiovisuals cause increasedretention. Demonstration, discussion, and practice take retention to the next level and teaching provides the bestretention.

Evaluation is concentrated on 3rd and 4th yearcourses and measures performance in specific embedded assignments within the core area, i.e.those most relevant to the major and taught within the College. Core courses may be classified asone of the following 5 types: • Theoretical – 3 or 4 semester credits, largely lecture-based, and devoted to an advanced topic within a specific discipline such as thermodynamics or wireless communications. • Experiential – Laboratory-oriented course equivalent to 1 to 3 semester credit
assumed endpoint:within a healthy watershed, all members of the ecosystem grow, develop, and flourish. Ratherthan merely being “retained” as an individual within a (neutral) pipeline, a member of anecosystem is part of a group that thrives as an interdependent collective. Metrics for the health ofan ecosystem will naturally incorporate intersectionality and complexity beyond traditionalrecruitment & retention data [12].However, despite these positive shifts from the limits of the lockstep “pipeline” to the morecapacious and humane “ecosystem,” metaphors about fostering persistence and thriving are, as arule, largely confined to the realms of STEM. They invoke STEM classrooms and laboratories,STEM communities and STEM processes (the pipelines
