The purpose of this study was to understand the preferences and experiences of international students in a Canadian master’s degree program. We collected data from 38 students in the program through a survey questionnaire, which asked research participants these questions: Why did they leave their own countries for education? Why did they select Canada? Did they plan to stay in Canada after graduation? The questionnaire also asked participants to indicate whether they agreed with 26 positive statements about the program. In addition, participants were invited to make comments about the program. Participants thought Canada had quality education and a safe environment, and most participants believed that they had a positive experience of undertaking graduate studies in Canada. Over half of them indicated that they plan to stay in Canada upon graduation. Based on the findings, we made recommendations on how to improve the program.

The One

In the context of the One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative, Chinese engineering education has encountered new opportunities and possible challenges. This chapter starts with a synthesis of the overarching trends in Chinese engineering education, analyzing its overall strengths and weaknesses, particularly highlighting the critical impact of China’s membership in the Washington Accord on its engineering degrees’ international recognition and the relevant ongoing engineering education innovations. The chapter also points out the lack of empirical research in Chinese engineering education to support the development of Chinese engineering education. The chapter further zeroes in on the specific advantages, and drawbacks, in attracting international students, and reviews additional models for Chinese engineering education to “go global.” Specific suggestions for multiple stakeholders are proposed to facilitate Chinese engineering education going global.

International students are often overlooked in the typical civic engagement activities of colleges and universities. However, including international students in such activities adds significant value to an institution’s efforts to increase students’ civic, electoral, and political engagement. At New York Institute of Technology, international students make up 25% of the total student population, bringing a richness to the college’s civic culture. This article discusses how international students have created and strengthened institutional initiatives designed to serve the public good. These initiatives include community service centers, Consultants for the Public Good, employee citizenship, voter registration and education, and Campus Conversations. The author also explores how these initiatives connect with A Crucible Moment, the National Task Force on Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement’s 2012 call to action to “reclaim higher education’s civic mission” through its framework for developing 21st-century civic skills and civic agency.

The article highlights main points of One Belt-One Road strategy, which is relevant in China today. Although this strategy is targeted, first of all, at the development of economic activities of the country it has a great effect on the system of education as well. The purpose of the article is to present the essence of the strategy “One Belt -One Road” in order to understand the changes, which are happening in the Chinese society and its system of higher education. During the work on the article, the methods of critical analysis of scientific literature, the method of systematizing and generalizing the information on the strategy “One Belt-One Road” were used. In the process of research it was found out that the “path of civilization” plays a crucial role in the implementation of this strategy. A new set of tasks which has an influence on the education is presented (creation of a multilevel mechanism for humanitarian cooperation and development of even more platforms for cooperation with strategic partners; promotion of educational cooperation, expansion of mass student exchange, increase of the level of joint newly created educational institutions; usage of the role of think tanks, creation of an alliance and network of think tank collaboration; creation of a new model of collaboration in the spheres of culture, sports, and health; usage of the historical cultural heritage). On the analysis of the main points of the strategy it was concluded that “One Belt-One Road” strategy in educational areas is reflected in three main directions (internalization of the educational system in the country; new approaches to the formation of the specialists to be; high requirements to academic staff of higher institutions of China). The analyses of each of the highlighted directions is given.

This case study explores the learning experiences of three international students who were enrolled in an online master’s program offered by a large university in Canada. The aim of the study was to understand the international students’ experiences with, and perspectives on, the online learning environment. Findings indicate that previous education and especially language proficiency strongly impacted the learning of these students in this environment. Non-native English speakers required considerably more time to process readings and postings and to make postings themselves. Their lack of familiarity with the details of North American culture and colloquial language made it difficult to follow much of the course discussion. They also tended to avoid socializing in the course, which left them at the periphery of course activities. Based on these findings, the authors make the following recommendations for designers and instructors of online courses: 1) Raise the English language proficiency requirement for graduate admissions into online programs because the text-based communication in a CMC space requires interpreting messages without non-verbal cues; 2) Ensure that online distance education course designers are aware of the needs and expectations of international students; and 3) Combine the design principles from both traditional and constructivism theories.

with the continuous strengthening of China’s comprehensive national strength and the expansion of education, China has become the first choice for more and more foreign students. China’s "one belt, one road" initiative has made the countries along the border the first choice for studying abroad. In order to cultivate the talents suitable for international students, colleges and universities and relevant education departments explore the training programs suitable for international students to adapt to the development of the international community. This paper mainly from the shortcomings of the previous training methods in China, in view of these problems, puts forward new training methods.
