. How can a general Chinese family afford to support their child throughfour years of engineering study abroad?This is the primary problem addressed by the partnership between the two universities. By usinga 3+1 structure, the expensive proposition of study in America becomes greatly reduced becausethe majority of study is completed in China. The students benefit by having both a solid degreefrom a well-respected Chinese university and an ABET-accredited degree from an Americanuniversity. This promises graduates a much better competitive position in the Chinese domesticjob market and also opens greater opportunities for them in the international job market.Furthermore, it offers improved prospects for pursuing advanced degrees in the U.S.For

established.Peiyang University, together with Tsinghua University and Zhejiang University became themain engineering and technical institutions before 1949. During this period, China'sengineering education mainly used European and American education model, and was mainlyengaged in "general education", to enable students to obtain a solid basic theory.After 1949, China's engineering education structure has undergone the followingdevelopment process:(1) Large-scale faculty adjustment and subject classification stage (1949-1960). This stage took cultivating "engineers" as the goal, and the undergraduate system changed from 4 years to 5 years, some 6 years. The number of colleges and universities increased rapidly from 28 in 1949 to 44 in 1957, and the

Thus the program isapproved as a general design course in engineering departments. In regard to student evaluation,the final grade is determined based on oral presentations, a research diary, peer evaluations bythe team, and a final demonstration. Since 2015, industrial enterprises related to each researchsubject have participated in the VIP program through mentoring support and student/projectevaluation.

At the same time, ahigher education institution is a part of the market economy, a maker of the intellectualproduct and educational services. Such dual nature means that the higher education institutionis an integral part of the economic system, and, being indirectly linked to the material sphere,it is affected by changes in the market. The purpose of the innovative activities in the system of the higher education is animprovement of operational efficiency of higher education institutions under conditions ofthe market economy.

We found that students in general have acquired the concepts and techniques of other disciplines in the programme in a standalone manner (e.g., “Due to the multidisciplinary nature of this project, we had to learn things from other engineering disciplines. The hands-on sessions allowed me to learn engineering and science concepts outside my core specialization, such as HTML, CSS, water sedimentation etc.” - a student in civil engineering; and “I learnt about chemistry and logistics involved in wastewater treatment.” - a student in computer science; and “As an electrical

in more general discussions about the group exam. For instance,the result above stated that a majority of supervisors (and students) find the individual part usefulis used in the discussion since there is not agreement across the university faculty about thebenefit of having this part being inserted into the old group exam. Some argue that it is better tohave a longer joint part. In this way, the results are indirectly influential for the students’ learningexperience.Bibliography[1] Biggs, J., & Tang, C. (2011).

This debate considered the new learners who are culturally diverse, globallydistributed yet connected via technology. These learners, unlike their previous generations,change jobs more frequently and thus need to learn new skills quickly and conveniently.Even at their present organizations, they are continuously assigned new projects that requirenew skills.
