The GCSP has now been implemented at 51 engineering schools around the world, with over 120 more schools planning to join this initiative. Among the affiliated schools, only 4 are from Asia and Pacific region (City University of Hong Kong, National University of Singapore, Peking University and Taylor’s University, Malaysia). The School of General Engineering (SGE) at Beihang University (BUAA) has been selected by the State Administration of Foreign Expert Affairs and the Minister of Education of China as an “International Model School of Higher Education.” The GC program is envisioned as an integral part of the curriculum of the SGE. In accordance with the NAE GCSP “Operational Document for Proposing a GCSP at Your School”, this document describes Beihang’s vision for its GCSP, how the five GCSP components will be met, how the GC Scholars will be recruited, mentored and assessed, how the GC Director and faculty mentors will be selected, their specific roles and responsibilities, how the funding and support for GCSP will be secured, and the unique aspects of GCSP at Beihang University.
