The program morphed from the initial conceptto a “3 + 1” program where students study for three years at SHNU, followed by one calendaryear (three semesters) at UD.Teaching in higher education is quite different between China and the United States. Tocontinue development of the program, SHNU annually sends faculty to UD for a semester tolearn about teaching and student learning in the United States. Additionally, UD annually sendsfaculty to teach at SHNU for a 4-5 week period to help prepare students for learning technicalcourses in English, and to better prepare them for learning at an American institution.Today, over 100 students in six cohorts have completed the joint program

science curriculum, at both the undergraduate and graduate level, oftenincorporates hands-on laboratory experiences. This hands-on lab work provides students withconcept relevancy, integrated knowledge, and technical skill required in engineering jobs [1].Hands-on and project based curriculum are examples of inductive learning techniques whereinductive learning reverses the traditional method of deductive learning. In deductive learning,a theory is presented to students and examples are then given in illustrations, in-classexperiments or homework exercises. In inductive learning, the process begins with a set ofobjectives or a problem to be solved. Faculty guides students along the way and the studentsreach an understanding of concepts through
