These are related to the successfulness of the bootcamp, improvement in student communication skills including interviewing, improvement inself-confidence, and improved research skills. The survey includes eleven questions that stu-dents answered on a six-point Likert scale with 1 indicating the internship had no impact on theskill, and 6 indicating that the internship helped them to improve that skill greatly. The greatestimpact areas indicated from this assessment in the 2010 class were in the students’ ability to askquestions, their verbal communication skills, and their ability to present data verbally.

These examples emphasize how particular ways ofthinking that are valued in engineering; however, how engineering students prefer to think isequally important as how well they think like engineers.For example, Boaler and Greeno [30] found that students who saw themselves as creativethinkers and identified with this characteristic tended to have lower interest in traditionallytaught math classes. They perceived these traditionally taught classes to inhibit their ownthinking and agency.

Athird limitation is the ambiguity of what “ethics” may entail when written in the coursedescription or course title. This does not tell us anything about the ethics-related content taughtor covered.

Engineers may encounter different situations that cause them todraw on previous experiences and in hindsight view those experiences differently. For example,learning a framework for ethical reasoning in a required engineering ethics class that seemedunimportant at the time may be perceived as meaningful when the individual realizes itsusefulness in confronting a situation in the workplace.Figure 1.

.1977-2000: Adjustment during reformAfter a decade of the Cultural Revolution, China's modernization suffered seriouslosses and the gap between China and the world widened once again. The Chinesegovernment realized the importance of science and technology in modernization andbegan to prioritize it [17 . Deng Xiaoping stressed that "science and technology are thefirst productive forces" and emphasized the need to innovate ways to discover andcultivate outstanding talents; the country needed to "train a group of science andtechnology experts of world-class level as soon as possible". The status and role ofengineering education once again received nationwide attention. And at this stage,China's HEE was constantly adjusting in response to the
