Based on the USHigher Education 2018 indicator ([2] and [3]), students entering engineering degrees at theundergraduate level, master’s colleges/universities, and doctorate-granting universities has beenincreasing. In the UK, the number of students entering engineering education was not grown fordecades until late 1990s [4]. However, in July to September 2017, there were 14 million graduatesin the UK, following a steady increase over the past decade [5].

In thecurrent job market in China, an overseas study experience can greatly increase a student’s abilityto obtain good employment after graduation. It offers students an option to begin a careersoutside China after graduation, possibly even remaining there permanently. Since the cost of atypical four-year undergraduate program in many western countries are very high and beyond thecapability of many middle-class families in China, collaborative programs jointly run by

the major concerns in engineering education3,7.Hence, exploring better strategies to assign homework or alternatives that can replace homeworkhas become a hot research topic. Some strategies that can be used when students have access tosolution manuals include8-11: 1) creating customized homework/quiz; 2) lowering the weight ofhomework in the overall grade; and 3) using online software that is able to randomly change thenumerical numbers in the questions and grade homework automatically. But all these strategieshave their own drawbacks. For example, creating customized homework is very effective butrequires a significant amount of time, and thus, it is hard for faculty to implement given theirresearch and/or other teaching responsibilities
