Learning ——A case of a certain Engineering College in ChinaAbstract:University innovation is a crucial component of building an “innovative country.” Theinnovation of university students constructed the university innovation system. Therefore,cultivating undergraduate students’ ability towards scientific literacy and creating aninnovative environment is especially crucial. To address the problem of undergraduates' lackof self-innovation consciousness and scientific research ability in the conventional talenttraining process that focuses on intensive lectures and is evaluated by the paper test. In thisarticle, through literature research and case studies, taking a certain engineering collegelocated in Beijing, China as an

(ST7) I had this one course in my winter semester where I felt the lecture style was very unique, but also effective. So instead of it being kind of like a blackboard and chalk, the professor talks at you for an hour. It was more like we had five minutes of lecture time where the professor would talk about new content.

This approach addresses two major issues: the lack ofpreparation most STEM faculty have for teaching communication skills and the knowledgetransfer difficulties associated with stand-alone rhetoric or communication classes taught outsideof the students’ major discipline. However, the co-teaching model is resource-intensive,challenging to integrate fully, and difficult to scale up, generally limiting application of thismodel to one, or at most two, classes in a curriculum.

Given the nature of senior designcourses, they offer an opportunity for engineering programs to integrate the outcomes of ABETcriteria [1]. In contrast to much of the undergraduate curriculum, the problems that students workon in senior design tend to be more ambiguous, require the consideration of multiple tradeoffs,and have no ‘right’ answer. As such, engineering design problems require individuals to makedecisions about what counts as knowledge by assessing various sources of information,balancing constraints, and evaluating alternative solutions. These acts can be grouped together asepistemic cognitive processes and require individuals to reason “about specific
