In summer 2009, Simeon Trieu, one of Prof. Jin’s graduatestudents, was awarded an NSF EAPSI summer and he also won the 1st place CSU researchcompetition on graduate engineering and computer engineering level in 2010, because ofworking on the project. Now Prof. Jin is supported by 1) NSF Grant OISE Award #1029135from year 2010 to 2013 and 2) Chinese National Key Research Lab Collaboration Grant 2010-2011 and 2011-2012. Those grants enable the Prof. Jin to bring more US students to work inChina. Since 2012, our new goal is to let students in both countries to freely choose theirresearch topics and their advisers. This paper will discuss how those activities are running in thepast years and what the key issues of the program are. The paper

In this paper, we describe a new approach for teaching design methods which addresses these issues. This approach incorporates hands-on experiences through the use of “reverse-engineering” projects. As the fundamentals of design techniques are presented, students immediately apply the methods to actual, existing products. They are able to hold these products physically in their hands, dissect them, perform experiments on their components, and evolve them into new successful creations. Based on this reverse-engineering concept, we have developed and tested new

This can lead to difficulties in STEM achievement,even when there is existing interest [5]. For female learners in particular, developing andretaining their interest in the STEM classroom is critical to diversifying the engineeringworkforce [6].
