Abstract: The establishment of Emerging Engineering Education is not only a new type of talent cultivation system, but also the world's largest-scale engineering education reform in the contemporary world. Within the process of transitioning from nurturing research-oriented talents to application-oriented talents, application-oriented undergraduate institutions are interwoven with the transformation brought about by the Emerging Engineering Education development. Their quality assurance system for talent cultivation faces greater challenges. Addressing the practical issues in engineering education at application-oriented undergraduate institutions under the backdrop of Emerging Engineering Education, this article proposes a stable and effective engineering education quality assurance system that ensures and enhances the quality of engineering education. It supervises and regulates the teaching system to accomplish the predetermined goals of cultivating applied talents and exceptional engineers. The construction of the engineering education quality assurance system in application-oriented undergraduate institutions within the context of Emerging Engineering Education development should adhere to the scientific developmental concept of being "student-centered, output-oriented, and continuously improving." This article provides a profound interpretation of the essence of this concept and systematically discusses the entire process of establishing and implementing the quality assurance system, addressing the questions of who will provide assurance, what needs assurance, and how assurance will be ensured. The thoughtful construction of the engineering education quality assurance system in application-oriented undergraduate institutions will not only contribute to enhancing the quality of education and cultivating exceptional engineering talents but also facilitate the development and elevation of the school's reputation. It will meet the needs of society and industries, propelling continuous innovation and advancement in engineering education.

Abstract: In today’s interconnected world, developing global citizenship skills is essential for individuals to navigate diverse communities and solve complex global problems. Social-emotional learning (SEL) has emerged as a critical approach to support students’ development of these skills. SEL focuses the cultivation of self-awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making. Translingualism on the other hand, emphasizes the ability to navigate multiple languages, cultures, and identities. Combining these two approaches, pedagogies of with-ness provide a framework for teachers to create inclusive and collaborative learning environments. Pedagogies of with-ness approach teaching as a collaborative endeavor, working alongside their students to co-create knowledge and understanding They prioritize creating a safe and supportive classroom environment, where students feel valued and respected for their diverse backgrounds and experiences. In doing so, they create a space where SEL skills can develop, and they can become effective global citizens. Translingualism plays an important role in this process as the value of all languages and culture are emphasized and welcomed in an inclusive manner. The combination of SEL, translingualism and pedagogies of with-ness provides a powerful approach to support the development of global citizenship skills. By prioritizing relationships, collaboration, and inclusive practices, teachers can create learning environments that foster the development of students’ social-emotional competencies and translingual abilities. This approach prepares students to engage with diverse communities and address complex global challenges with empathy, respect and understanding.
