ABSTRACT
In an era of unprecedented technological advancement, engineering practice continues to evolve but engineering education has not changed appreciably. This schism(分裂) has prompted industry, government, and key constituents to question the relevancy and efficacy of current programs. Qualitative methodologies such as formal surveys and structured interviews can be used to capture and qualify industry expectations of needed attributes i.e. knowledge, skills, and experience for entry level engineering employees. Such instruments can provide key data useful in determining objectives and designing curricula to attain those objectives. This paper presents the results of a formal survey of 172 attributes related to the formal survey and database resulting from efforts of the categories. This is the first formal survey and database resulting from efforts of the Industry-University-Government Roundtable for Enhancing Engineering Education (IUGREEE) to initiate a continuing, evolving process to provide curriculum designers with important information

(5) Being Standard.
In general, nonstandard abbreviations and symbols, and /or terms or phraseology intelligible only to the specialist should be avoided.
Title Analysis
(1) Reduction of Motion Artifacts Using a Two-Frequency Impedance Plethysmograph and Adaptive Filtering Analysis: this is a good title. Being concise and sasy to understand, it functions perfectly, with a small number of words to introduce the main content of the paper.
(2) A new frequency domain speech scrambling system which does not require frame synchronization Analysis: this is a poor title. It is not concise, for it contains a subordinate clause, which is usually not encouraged.
A more concise version could be: A New Frequency Domain Speech Scrambling System not Requiring Frame Synchronization.
(3) Effects of acute changes in canine LV-chamber volume and shape on accuracy of impedance catheter estimates of LV-chamber volume
Analysis: again, this in not a satisfied title. First, it seems a bit too long. Second, the abbreviated word “LV” is unfavorably used in the title, which may hinder the reader from immediate and correct understanding of its specific meaning especially when the title appears separately in the title indexing. Third, the same expressions “LV-chamber volume” is used twice in the same title.
(4) On Learning Foreign Languages and Cultural Background Teaching
改为：Foreign Language Learning and Cultural Background Teaching

(8) Is Literature Useless in TOEFL?
改为：How to Use Literature in Teaching English as a Foreign Language
(9) Innovation and the Materials Revolution
This title is a little bit too general.
(10) Phase Equilibria (平衡) Between Fluorothene (聚氯三氟乙烯) and Organic Solvents
This is a good title.
改为：The Prediction of Wash Load Rate by Bed Load Function
(12) Focusing on the Communicative Skills-Advanced English Communication Course for Non-English Major Postgraduates in Tsinghua University
