AB  - This paper presents an evaluation of student perceptions of a domestic Chinese undergraduate engineering program taught by international Australasian teaching staff. The project is a part of a teaching collaboration between Deakin University and Wuhan University of Science and Technology (WUST). The cohort of students from WUST University were first year bachelor undergraduate engineering students in Mechanical Engineering. The particular subject was a first year engineering materials unit taught in English. The content of the unit included introduction to material science principles/practices, such as material stress-strain analysis, discussion of material failure modes and basic material property characteristics. A survey of students was used for evaluation. This study will help academics understand international student experiences, and to identify the current challenges and barriers faced in their learning. 

A total of 61 students participated in the survey. Early analysis of the survey has shown 90% of participating students agreed they were motivated to learn and achieve the learning goals through this collaborative program.  Around 90% of students found the group based practical activities were most helpful in achieving learning goals. The full paper will discuss in detail about the practical activity tasks, learning and teaching approach involved in this international collaborative program. It also will discuss about the challenges faced by the students in a classroom.
