Using a Chinese-language and culturally adapted version of the Postsecondary Student
Engagement Survey (PosSES 2.1), this research set out to examine how engineering students at a
single private Chinese institution felt about open access (OA). In this post, we provide the findings
of a survey that asked 283 senior engineering students about their experiences with the project and
their opinions on its advantages and disadvantages. The evidence suggests that participation at all
levels may have a substantial positive effect. There are large differences in the quantity, nature, and
level of active involvement among engineering students, which in turn causes a wide range of
emotional engagement. The amount of OA that students engaged in had little effect on their
emotional participation, in contrast to the quantity of negative outcomes. Furthermore, a strong
correlation was found between emotional involvement and positive outcomes.
