AB  - The global landscape of higher engineering education (HEE) is changing rapidly in response to and alongside the sci-tech revolution and industrial global transformations. Echoing such trends, China is transforming its HEE through new engineering education (NEE) initiatives. China has contributed to the largest scale of HEE worldwide, and its economic power and strategic reach has increasingly grown at the global stage. Thus, it becomes increasingly important to develop a nuanced understanding of the evolutionary path of HEE to NEE in China. However, there has been a lack of research efforts in this regard. Historical institutionalism, an integrated approach examining structural, institutional, and actor contextual factors with the view of gradual change, provides a powerful analytical framework to fill such research gap. Based on an analytical review of policy documents and scholarly research since the founding of PRC in 1949, as well as semi-structured interviews with policy makers, university managerial personnel and faculties, this paper aims to investigate the structural, institutional, and actor contextual factors that facilitate the policy shift to NEE in China’s HEE, and their interactions. In so doing, this paper will depict the big picture of path evolution concerning the policy shift to NEE in China’s HEE, thus contributing to the current gap in literature regarding HEE in China as a socio-historical phenomenon.
