Based on a case study of engineering teaching in China's higher
education sector, this work unravels the interlocking influencing
factors that condition the experience of engineering faculty
members along with multiple stakeholders' expectations of
engineering teaching. What motivates and demotivates a university
instructor to provide excellent teaching, especially in the
disciplines where effective instructor guidance is crucial for
student learning? This book gives an evidence-based answer to this
research question, drawing upon a social realist framework in
relation to the disciplinary features of engineering and based on
both qualitative and quantitative methods. It expatiates upon
structural, cultural and reflexive factors concerning both the
academic profession and industry and how teaching behaviours are
shaped. In doing so, the author advances pragmatic suggestions for
higher education reform under the prevalent performance management
systems, posing implications for global higher education in regard
to what structural arrangements and cultural milieu should be in
place to unleash the potential of engineering teaching. The book
will appeal to scholars of higher education, Chinese and
comparative education, education sociology and academics and policy
makers interested in engineering education and teacher education.
