disappear, and this new change may take place in other countries as well. Therefore, we should adopt new methods and be prepared to welcome a new society and new ways of education. Besides, media-centred industries, like theatre, film, publicity and advertising are cultural industries and cannot be replaced by robots. A country will be stronger with a stronger cultural industry. 35 % of the global cultural market is occupied by the United States, while China only accounts for 12 %. Therefore, we should promote the cultural market and activities in the cultural field, and inspire more creative and critical thinking in students.- Park Seung Chu
Innovation and Asia’ s Inculcation Education
Innovation should also run through the whole course of education. Basic research is not inconsistent with innovation, nor does basic research conflict with the integration of production, learning and research.- Li Jiange
It is not universities’ goal to train everyone to be masters. Different people have different choices. Universities should create conditions for all to choose. Innovation of universities involves innovation in research, teaching content and management systems.- Lau Leong problems. Engineering is based principally on physics, chemistry, and mathematics and their extensions into materials science, solid and fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, transfer and rate processes, and systems analysis.
The foundations of modern structural engineering were laid in the 17 th century by Galileo, Robert Hooke and Isaac Newton with the publication of three great scientific works. In 1638 Galileo published Dialogues Relating to Two New Sciences, outlining the sciences of the strength of materials and the motion of objects( essentially defining gravity as a force giving rise to a constant acceleration). It was the first establishment of a scientific approach to structural engineering, including the first attempts to develop a theory for beams. This is also regarded as the beginning of structural analysis, the mathematical representation and design of building structures.
This was followed in 1676 by Robert Hooke’ s first statement of Hooke’ s Law, providing a scientific understanding of elasticity of materials and their behaviour under load.
Eleven years later, in 1687, Sir Isaac Newton published Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, setting out his Laws of Motion, providing for the first time an understanding of the fundamental laws governing structures.
The words engine and ingenious are derived from the same Latin root, ingenerare, which means“ to create.” The early English verb engine meant“ to contrive.” Thus the engines of war were devices such as catapults, floating bridges, and assault towers; their designer was the“ engine-er,” or military engineer. The counterpart of the military engineer was the civil engineer, who applied essentially the same knowledge and skills to designing buildings, streets, water supplies, sewage systems, and other projects.
The function of the scientist is to know, while that of the engineer is to do. The scientist adds to the store of verified, systematized knowledge of the physical world; the engineer brings this knowledge to bear on practical
Steel construction was first made possible in the 1850s when Henry Bessemer developed the Bessemer process to produce steel. He gained patents for the process in 1855 and 1856 and successfully completed the conversion of cast iron into cast steel in 1858. Eventually steel would replace both wrought iron and cast iron as the preferred metal for construction.
Alice Perry was the first woman in Europe to graduate with a degree in engineering in 1908 from Queen’ s College, Galway. Elisa Leonida Zamfirescu, a Romanian engineer graduated from the Technical University of Berlin in 1912. The entry of the United States into World War II created a serious shortage of engineering talent as men were drafted into the armed forces. General
