Our group wanted to find out reason why there has been a growing trend of Chinese students returning to China rather than staying. We focused on the Science & Technology departments as they chose this school more specifically for the Engineering program. We used interviews and found that there was a trend for the males to have a patriotic sense (whether or not they did return to China). Some wanted to contribute to China or even the world through their findings or after they have established themselves. Some explained that they did not care too much about patriotism, but their friends and family. Almost all the subjects had a strong relationship and sense of responsibility in supporting their parents, so that affected their decision as well. Others had decided to study abroad just for the opportunities that would be opened to them in China for a job or purpose what they want to do.
