The bachelor project aswell as the profile as a whole was also carried out by a questionnaire distributed by the author ofthis paper to the students first enrolled, at the end of their bachelor project. The response rate washigh, about 70 %. The overall grade of the course shows that most students were very satisfiedwith the bachelor project. Aspects particularly emphasized as positive were the multifacetedengineering approach and the opportunity to freely work on a large project.

The country is producing over a million engineers annually in therecent years which has doubled the number in 2006. This is supposed to be a big support for therapid development of China and the rest of the world. However, the newly produced engineersare not necessarily prepared to meet the requirements of the market and to be able to function inthe globalized industry. 4,12 Developing an effective educational model to produce engineers witha global vision and interdisciplinary mind

With these ideas in mind, the approach presentedin this paper has the following characteristics that facilitate the achievement of benefits regardingincreasing engagement, active learning, meeting learning outcomes, student success, andprofessional success: • Projects assigned are related to a real apparatus/device used in an engineering application • Projects require experimental validation and calibration • Projects expose students to multiple setbacks related to the development of a product, which will be encounter as a professional. • Students need to research

Thisvision of the engineering faculty member persists in the minds of most business persons andmany times eliminates the thought of working with faculty members to develop more productsfor business. One note here is that the administration of some engineering universities havedeveloped a negative reputation with the business community, specifically one in which the firstquestion asked by the University is “How can what you propose harm the university?” Thisattitude discourages business people who are interested in economic advantage and companyvalue related to the ownership or control of technology in the market place.
