Abstract

She obtained her Master degree in History of Education in 2018 from Beijing Normal University, China. She started her PhD in July 2020. Her PhD research focuses on the intercultural PBL context in engineering education, with a special focus on the adaptability and development of learner agency in such an environment. She also worked as a research assistant at the same time, focusing on student agency and engagement for sustainability in PBL. From 2021 to 2022, she joined a Europeanlevel project, SMART-ER Academy for the European Consortium of Innovative Universities (ECIU), where she collaborated with twelve European universities on completing a deliverable report. VII ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This PhD program started in July 2020 and finished in Nov 2023 at the Aalborg Center for PBL in Engineering Science and Sustainability under the auspices of UNESCO and Department of Planning & Institute for Advanced Study in PBL, Aalborg University. This wonderful journey has shaped me as a more independent researcher and has given me the passion and interest to do the research. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the following individuals, who have contributed significantly to the completion of this PhD program.
