China is currently the third-largest destination country for international students in the world. Among the international students in China, the number of those in engineering schools is increasing most rapidly. Based on the “Push-Pull” theory (Altbach, 1998) and a three-stage decision-making theory (Ma, 2017), this research explored the factors influencing international students’ choices of engineering schools in China. Twenty-two international students in engineering schools at a leading Chinese university were interviewed. Qualitative analyses of the interview data suggested that the participants were attracted to China by the availability of scholarships, ranking of the host university, and opportunities for personal growth and professional development. Meanwhile, it was found that positive relationships between the students’ home countries and China, inadequate educational and research resources in home countries, and higher tuition fees and educational costs involved in studying in Western countries also influenced their decision-making process. Based on the findings, suggestions and recommendations were proposed for further enhancement of learning experiences of international students in engineering disciplines in China. 摘要:中国已经成为全球第三大留学目的国,其工科留学生数量增速最快。本研 究以囊括宏观因素与微观因素的“推拉”理论和国际学生择校三阶段理论为指导, 采用质性研究方法,以 S 校为研究平台,一对一地访谈了来自亚、欧、美、非洲 的 22 名工科学生,旨在探索形成工科学生来华留学“热潮”的原因。研究发现, 可获得奖学金、雄厚的工科实力、促进个人发展是影响他们来华留学的主要因素, 友好的两国关系、母国教育与研究资源的匮乏、西方国家昂贵的留学费用在择校 过程中也起到了一定作用。针对中国高校吸引力不足的问题,研究提出了增加英 文授课课程,提高教师队伍专业水平;加大海外招生宣传力度,优化招生手段; 发挥奖学金杠杆作用,吸引高层次工科留学生等建议。
