collaboration.Broader or More Specific KnowledgeWith the shift from a "planned economy" to a market economy, more graduating studentengineers in China will not be guaranteed a job and assigned to a post. Chinese engineeringschools need to offer more broad based programs to produce more versatile engineers because ofthe jobs available are more varied. Faculty members trained in Russia in late 40’s and throughout 50’s are now retired and replaced by faculty trained in the western world, especially theUnited States. It seems changes in Chinese engineering schools can be done most easily bysimply copying from the best undergraduate curriculum offered in the US. However, aftercareful examination of the current practices in a few US and Chinese engineering schools

In this study, we bring attention to the literature that has quantitively assessed a student’srecognition through two primary questions. These studies have made significant contributions tothe field but have focused mainly on the aspect of being seen (recognized) as an engineer and havemeasured this concept through a student’s self-reflection and through their recognition of howmuch the people in their lives see them as an engineer: • “Parents/Relatives/friends see you as a physics person” and “Science teacher see[s] you as a physics person.” (Hazari et al., 2010

When reflection andthe articulation of future actions follow feedback from peers and enrolled students, undergraduateeducators gain an enhanced understanding of their strengths and challenges and greater ownership andmotivation to improve their educational practices. In summary, we show that feedback, reflection, andgoal setting can guide undergraduate leaders to inclusive, student-centered practices

that, for no one s particular fault, the project $dead ended# prematurely or becameundesirably redirected. It must be kept in mind that the overall objective is to maximize studentdesign experience. That is usually accomplished by the completion of more, rather than fewer,projects.* Is the proposed project really a design project? Perhaps the company is just looking for somespecific analysis? It is tempting for a company to suggest a design project when, in fact, what theywant are specific answers to some analysis problem. In these cases the students just do what they retold and do not benefit from experiencing the design process.* Is there opportunity for student management of the project? The student teams must beallowed to
