Although Japanese,German, French, Russian are also taught, English is absolutely the mainstream of CCUST foreignlanguage education and has the overwhelming majority of the students. College English Tests ( CET ) arethe only required nationally unified college examination in China. Generally speaking, English is taught in Chinese technical institutions of higher leaning in twoways: one is a required basic course called College English or Public English, which is intended forstudents specializing in all fields except English, and the other is an English specialty referred to asEnglish for Science and Technology ( called EST for short).

Session ETD 506 Industry Advisory Boards in Engineering Technology Barry Lunt BYUAbstract It is standard practice for Engineering and Engineering Technology programs to have anIndustry Advisory Board (IAB). These boards or councils meet regularly with the faculty andstaff of the academic program and interact with them in a variety of ways. An important questionis how effective are these boards? In 2007, Genheimer and Shehab1 published a study of IABs in engineering educationwith a model and a case study. Two years later, the same

” representations of reality. As engineers, we want the most factual informationavailable to make informed decisions. This paper presents the civil and other engineeringeducation enrollment and degree data from 1969 to 2009.Formal Academic EducationAccreditationFormal accreditation of engineering programs within the US is conducted by ABET, Inc. ABETis a federation of 30 professional societies with an interest in accreditation of university degree-granting programs. As such, ABET is the recognized accreditor of college and universityprograms in engineering, technology, applied science, and computing. Further, most licensingjurisdictions within the US consider ABET accreditation as the “gold standard” for formalacademic education.For programs in civil
, many fortune 500 companies, such as Intel,IBM and GE have located their R&D centers in India. GE-India is working on advanced fields,such as computing and decision sciences, non-destructive evaluation, imaging technologies,electromechanical control systems, electromagnetic analysis and high voltage and high currentphenomena. Additionally, GM has an automobile plant in Chennai (South India) to be close tothe customer base. Several other companies, including Texas Instruments of the USA aremoving to India to setup plants to be close to the consumer market. This is feasible because theyhave easy access to highly qualified, talented, English-speaking engineering graduates requiredfor their companies. India has been supplying a big percentage
