Thisapproach and the associated stigma related to disability labels has been linked to an increasedprevalence of mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, and burnout within thispopulation [10-13]. We suggest that to address this, the focus of engineering education must shiftfrom individual to collaborative problem-solving, creating a safe space for students of diversecognitive abilities to collaborate and bring their unique skills to the table that concurrentlyenhancing students’ sense of belonging and inclusion.

In response to national andregional innovation-driven development strategies such as “Made in China 2025” while educatingmore high-end engineering and scientific talents, the Polytechnic Institute was created by ZJU in2016. Focusing primarily on graduate engineering education and training for corporate engineers, theInstitute follows a “high-end, high-quality, international” philosophy of education and activelyexplores an educational system for cultivating applied, sophisticated, and innovative science andengineering talents. Education in the Institute emphasizes practical training in engineering,industry-university cooperation, and international collaboration. The Institute encourages the paringof

It isimportant to note the critical thinking as a dynamic concept in engineering that requires studentsto navigate between empirical and abstract knowledge (Ahern, et al., 2012).Collaboration is often closely linked with critical thinking. This is not surprising given the team-based nature of most engineering professions and the inclusion of communication and teamworkas an explicit goal in the accreditation of engineering programs (Woods, et al., 2000).Furthermore, Mills and Treagust (2003) posit that traditional “chalk and talk” pedagogies remainprevalent in engineering education despite the

Social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram offer a range ofcommunication and collaboration opportunities that can facilitate learning and enhance studentengagement. This literature review provides an overview of the existing research on the use ofsocial media in engineering education, examining the benefits and challenges of incorporatingsocial media into teaching practices.Several studies have identified the benefits of incorporating social media in engineeringeducation and found that the use of social media can improve student engagement and increasecollaboration among students [16-18
engineering education in part because it is authentic tothe working lives of engineers, and thus has potential to help our students to better transfer theireducation to their post-baccalaureate lives. Yet active learning has a significant psychologicalbarrier to wider adoption. The transition from a controlled, scripted, and familiar classroomexperience (i.e. the traditional lecture) to an unscripted, collaborative in-class learningexperience is often difficult for instructors and students alike1. Active learning’s practiceliterature and scholarship of teaching sometimes provide ideas about how to manage anunscripted class.

“humanities and social sciences.” It refers additionally to a set of goals and pedagogicalstrategies that focus on individual development as well as subject matter competence. Instead ofreferring to disciplinary categories, it relies on a broader notion of “humanistic engineering”analogous to the emerging notions of “humanistic entrepreneurship” and “humanisticmanagement” (Teehankee, 2008; Rocha and Miles, 2009). In brief, humanistic engineering treatsfinancial, social, and environmental sustainability as goals to be achieved simultaneously.Humanistic engineering education recognizes that engineering students are first and foremosthuman beings who must learn not only to calculate and design, but also to collaborate for mutualbenefit and seek meaning
