Development of Engineering Management Education in China

Abstract

Engineering management (EM) is a new interdisciplinary field accompanying China's economic and social development. To have a systemic research of the present situation and future orientation on China's EM education, this paper compares the connotation of engineering and engineering management based on the gap of their differences at home and abroad, with gained causes between them. Then, this paper analyzes the training system of 35 authenticated universities with the program of engineering management, which had received the certification from the Engineering Management Assessment Committee for Higher Education Institutions under the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of China by 2014. With a web survey of the present condition of engineering management education at these universities, the paper discusses the disciplinary attribution of engineering management. Through the above research, this paper concludes with three suggestions for the long-term development of engineering management education in China.

Toward next‐generation engineering education: A case study of an engineering capstone project based on BIM technology in MEP systems

“…Moreover, engineering education strengthens the connection with employment, and provides industrial companies with the environment and opportunity to train new employees or test new workflow. Industrial companies can save the cost of post employment training for graduates [11,60]. The technological revolution of Industry 4.0 can be harnessed to help improve the connection between engineering education and industry demand, where the BIM capstone project supports the sustainable development and growth of the bilateral interests of higher education institutions and enterprises.…”

Description of a new species, Sillago nigrofasciata sp. nov. (Perciformes, Sillaginidae) from the southern coast of China

“…Species of the family Sillaginidae are easily identified due to similarity of shape and coloration pattern ( Sano and Mochizuki 1984 ; McKay 1992 ). This external morphological similarity, however, has led to much confusion in their specific identification and many cryptic species have been concealed in the synonymy of those wide-ranging species ( Cheng and Zheng 1987 ; Kwun and Kim 2010 ; Bae et al 2013 ). As a widely distributed Sillaginidae species, Sillago sihama (Forsskål, 1775) exhibits many cryptic lineages across its Indo-West Pacific distribution ( Cheng et al 2020 ).…”
