The University-Enterprise-Cooperation (UEC) has been adopted by many universities globally to effectively utilize the high-quality resources of the construction industry, to improve the general competence, problem-solving skills and innovation capability of graduates of an engineering discipline. There are a limited amount of papers published in international journals on UEC, compared to a significant volume of Chinese published literature. However, based on the best knowledge of the authors, no existing literature has conducted a quantitative statistical analysis on UEC research in Chinese and international journals. In order to fill this knowledge gap, 300 highquality papers on UEC were derived through the Chinese CNKI database from 2010-2019. The general development trend of UEC research in the past 30 years was also mapped and analyzed. The most popular topics under the UEC theme and the most frequently adopted research methods within the UEC field were also identified. It was found that since the first UEC publication in 1990, the number of UEC publications experienced a steady increase during the last decade, aiding by strong promotion from the government and active practice within universities and from educators in China. Course development (52.94%) and practice resource development (24.89%) were two of the most popular research topics in the UEC field. The elaboration research method was adopted by more than half (55.94%) of UEC papers, followed by case study (21.25%). The findings of this study are valuable for researchers and practitioners globally, to better understand the development status of UEC research in China and embark on future research in this field.

Youguang Tu is a contemporary Chinese philosopher of education. His course on philosophy of education had a significant impact on his students. This exploratory study examines how Tu designed and taught this course. Ultimately, there are two reasons why Tu’s course had such a significant influence on his students. The first is that Tu used problem-centered design to address both central problems of education and specific problems that students encountered. The second is that Tu exhibited a personal teaching style that incorporated elegant handwriting, appropriate analogies, and fierce passion. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

While blended learning has been reported to produce promising results, most existing blended learning practices focus on degree or higher degree courses. With the increasing number of sub-degree students in Hong Kong, it is essential to develop an effective blended learning model for sub-degree courses in order to improve teaching and learning effectiveness. A two-year project was launched in August 2009 to help contribute an understanding of what an effective blended learning model for sub-degree accounting students is like. The project has been very successful and one of the contributing factors towards the success is the effective project management methodology employed in the project. This paper presents the project management process used in this project as a reference model for blended learning course development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines the process of integrating ethics into the teaching of international business within the Greater China region. An example of how ethics is integrated into a required undergraduate international business course at a Hong Kong based university is presented. The contextual challenges of developing a course for use in the Greater China region and aimed at local Chinese students are considered. The paper presents a modified ‘learning outcomes based’ framework for integration of an international business ethics component to a business program within Greater China, along with practical suggestions and advice on how such a course can be introduced.
