The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) the oldest standards developingorganization (SDO) in the United States defines the term standard as, “A set of technicaldefinitions and guidelines developed so that items can be manufactured uniformly and providefor safety and interchangeability.” The Society further defines a code as, “A standard which hasbeen adopted by governmental bodies, either local, state, or federal, or which is cited in acontractual agreement, and which has the force of law.”6 ASTM International (formerly TheAmerican Society for Testing and Materials), the largest SDO in the United States, defines

on “human capital”, and such analysis of human capital haslong been of interest to economists. With respect to the division of labor, Adam Smith [5]implied the existence of monetary value in human capital: “The acquisition of talents, by themaintenance of the acquirer during his education, study, or apprenticeship, always costs a realexpense, which is a capital fixed and realized, as it were, in his person.” Pigou also suggested theimportance of human capital with regard to trade-offs in its development [6]: “There is such athing as investment in human capital as well as investment in material capital.”The theory of human capital was more fully developed by various contributors [7-9]. By 1964,Becker’s Human Capital examined marginal rates of

Engineering education is not immune to these changes since it isembedded within the structure of higher education; in fact, given its close industry ties, it may beespecially vulnerable to these phenomena.While proponents of a market-based approach in higher education are sometimes loath to discussit, classical microeconomic theory and good public policy demand a concomitant exploration ofmarket failures. A market can be considered as a mechanism designed to enable transactions ofexchange between consenting parties to achieve efficient allocations of goods and resources.Subsequently, market failures may arise when the market does not reach this efficient allocation,or more

Although domestic scholar has tried to use the Diffu-sion of Innovation Theory to study higher education policies in provincial administrative regions,the perspective only focuses on the mechanisms. As a significant innovation within higher educa-tion, the diffusion of Double First-rate Initiative in the Chinese Mainland refers to whether the pol-icy can be promoted rationally and successfully.

Not only is it related to the current discussions ofrenewable energy technologies, energy is an essential human resource that has been increasing inconsumption and demand over the years. Many students will be familiar with at least some of thesocial and policy discussions around energy from various media sources. The role energy plays in our society and the issue of fossil fuels coupled with the struggleto develop solutions to the energy shortage and pollution problems (e.g., alternative energy),provides an excellent setting for the discussion of social issues
