Such spirit is largelyabsent among universities in China today. As a result, universities have succeeded at Page 24.1218.13making political, technical, and economic elites, but paled in educating culturalleaders.

Page 25.233.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 Assisting Adjunct Faculty using Committee ExamsAbstractMany engineering programs use adjunct faculty to teach foundational courses such asthermodynamics. It is critical that adjunct instructors be mentored to ensure the course isconsistent from semester-to-semester. A brief meeting in the beginning of the semester wherethe syllabus and textbook are shared with adjunct instructors is often inadequate. Gradedistributions, coverage of material, as well as student learning outcome can vary significantly. Agoal of the engineering program is to have consistency in courses.
