For example, students in Thermodynamics would beable to study the mixing of hot and cold air streams. Directly overhead in the Thermo-Fluidslaboratory room is a large air mixing chamber that combines hot and cold air flows. The flowrate of the hot and cold air streams is controlled through a feedback circuit in order to maintainthe desired temperature in the room.

problem.Similar problems appear in Chinese engineering curriculum with the addition of advancedmaterials, such as FEA, optimization, and mechanism simulation materials to undergraduatecurriculum. The authors suggest the development of computer tools to alleviate this problem. Apossible approach is to "compartmentalize" the knowledge by developing units of teachingmaterial with associated computer programs. This approach, to some extent, actually has beenadopted by some engineering schools. Finite element analysis, for example, can be taught as aunit in the capstone design with an available software package. It can be a whole semesterelective course for undergraduates. However, it is probably not possible to cramp FEA,optimization, GD&T, and more

. But internship is not one of the requirements for B.S. degree. In China,most EE programs develop and manage practice courses to give all students a chance to work ina controlled real-life industry environment. These courses are focused on industrial practice andapplications. Most Chinese universities have built up their own engineering training center (orshop) to provide professional technicians and complete advanced equipments for studentstraining.Take SDU for example; there are five practice courses in its EE curriculum: 1. A 3 credits metal - engineering practice course in sophomore first semester.

mathematics is the mostvaluable such skill and also the most difficult to develop. Many inner-urban programsmeant to revitalize or strengthen mathematics education focus on students in middle orhigh school. At this grade level, many students already feel they have no skill withmathematics; they have a correspondingly poor attitude towards mathematics that makesany attempt to improve the mathematics curriculum more difficult. A more useful, iflonger term, approach is to implement change from the bottom (elementary school level)up, rather than middle or high school, where ultimate change is so strongly desired.

First, many engineers continue to hold atraditional, hierarchical view of leadership and thereby may resist the notion that engineering is aleadership profession [7], [8]. Additionally, while many opportunities to gain experience exist,support is needed to provide students with more meaningful development through intentionalengagement and reflection [9].
