It is imperative to bridge the disparity between college students' practical capabilities and professional expectations. To help facilitate such a progression, an electronic engineering course oriented around the Creative Innovation Practice project has been designed with the objectives of student-centric instruction, integration of both…

The continuous distillation experiment in the Unit Operations Lab was moved to a virtual platform. Students used old data and equipment specifications to simulate the column in Aspen HYSYS. Students experimented without the limitations of existing equipment. For example, they studied the number of trays in the virtual column, something that is…

The influence of achievement motives and relational goal structures embedded in schools on learning outcomes as well as their interaction has attracted much attention in educational research. In the secondary multi-level analysis of data from four areas of China (B-S-J-Z) and the United States in the PISA 2018 study, the relationship among…
