stratification of China’s higher educationsystem is the differentiation between elite and non-elite universities. Elite universities aregenerally sponsored and administered by the Ministry of Education (MoE) or the centralgovernment, while non-elite universities are under the provincial or municipal level ofadministration. The premier status of Chinese elite universities can be best illustrated bythe Double First-Class University (DFCU) Plan[9]. ‘Double’ refers to both university anddiscipline. ‘First-Class’ refers to the objective of reaching the WCU standard.

At GeorgiaTech, a dedicated course on storytelling in the biomedical engineering curriculum benefittedstudents by facilitating intentional development of identity and self-concept.

In that case, the impact of the program on those intentions is usually amatter of reinforcing, rather than redirecting, the paths that students are already on. Results fromthe comprehensive survey appear to confirm this. 89% of WIL participants agreed or stronglyagreed that, after the WIL program, they plan to work in their field of study – a small increasefrom the 85% who agreed or strongly agreed prior to the program.
