Intel Products Vietnam Grand Challenges Masters Student Fellowship

2017-2018 Fellowship program to study at Arizona State University

The Fellowship

Vietnam is emerging as one of the most dynamic and innovative economies in Southeast Asia.  With this growth there are engineering challenges facing Vietnam in the areas of climate, water, environment, security, transportation, and energy.  Intel invests at the boundaries of technology to creating amazing experiences for business and society, and every person on Earth. To this end, Intel Products Vietnam in partnership with Arizona State University (ASU) via HEEAP will offer up to 19 Vietnam Grand Challenges Masters Fellowships to Arizona State University for high performing senior undergraduate students who will be completed with their Bachelor of Science degree in Spring 2017. 

Selected students will take part in a one-year, U.S. education experience at Arizona State University (ASU) in Tempe, Arizona starting in Fall 2017 while engaging with a mentor within Vietnam. As a component of these master’s programs, students will focus on research and project based solutions (including Internet of Things solutions) geared towards developing a smart city, a priority focus for Ho Chi Minh City. The full cost of one full academic year (fall, spring, summer) of tuition and a living stipend will be awarded. 

Possible Degree Programs at ASU

Aerospace Engineering, M.S.

They may become experts in one or more fields such as aerodynamics, thermodynamics, celestial mechanics, propulsion, guidance and acoustics.

Our faculty and students conduct innovative research in all of the traditional core areas of aerospace engineering with applications to some of society’s most pressing problems in energy, the environment, national defense, security and transportation. State-of-the-art laboratories and computational facilities support the research and educational missions. This program is offered by the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport, and Energy at ASU.

Chemical Engineering, M.S.

The chemical engineering program at ASU is devoted to innovative education and discovery, and is recognized nationally among the top 50 chemical engineering programs by U.S. News & World Report. The chemical engineering faculty are committed to fully developing students’ potential by providing a unique and stimulating learning and research environment, exposing students to a diversity of viewpoints and teaching/learning styles, and preparing students to work in teams to solve real-world, multidisciplinary problems. This program is offered by the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport, and Energy at ASU.

Computer Science, M.S.

Computer Science support the evolution of the computing and informatics disciplines, and the integration of computer and information sciences with other disciplines such as biology, geography, anthropology, public health, urban planning and mathematics. Students will learn how to invent next-generation computer systems, computer networking, biomedical information systems, gaming systems, search engines, web browsers and package distribution systems. This program is offered by the School of Computing, Informatics, & Decision Systems Engineering.   

Computer (Systems) Engineering, M.S.

Computer (Systems) Engineering enables students to engage in the design of integrated hardware and software solutions for technical problems. They are involved in many aspects of computing, from the design of individual microprocessors, personal computers, and supercomputers, to circuit design. Our undergraduate programs in Computer Systems Engineering teach students the planning, development, testing and supervision of computer hardware manufacturing, as well as computer networks for the transmission of data and multimedia. Our graduate programs in Computer Engineering provide the knowledge and skills necessary to advance and develop new paradigms for the design, integration, testing, evaluation and deployment of state-of-the-art hardware and software systems that include computing, communications and networking, control functions, sensing, signal processing and actuation. This program is offered by the School of Computing, Informatics, & Decision Systems Engineering.   

Environmental and Resource Management, M.S.

This graduate program provides students with a background in the sciences, engineering, environmental science, natural resources management, environmental health and safety, or other affiliated areas with the regulatory and technical background to mitigate the environmental impact of industrial sources of pollution, ensure compliance with environmental regulations, and manage and preserve natural ecosystems.

The curriculum focuses on areas such as environmental law, air pollution, soils and groundwater contamination, water law and policy, environmental toxicology, hazardous waste management, natural resources management, occupational health and safety, sustainable development, and international environmental laws and policies. This program is offered by the Polytechnic School at ASU.

Material Science and Engineering, M.S.

The graduate program in Materials Science and Engineering at ASU is one of the largest in the U.S. The flexibility of the program structure encourages students to explore topics at the boundaries between traditional disciplines. There are many research thrusts in materials at ASU that span a wide range of cutting-edge and cross-disciplinary topics including understanding the structure-property relationships of nanomaterials, and applications in energy, security, and sustainability. This graduate program prepares students for professional careers in materials science and engineering and related fields in industry, government and educational institutions. This program is offered by the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport, and Energy at ASU.

Mechanical Engineering, M.S.

Faculty and students conduct innovative research in all of the traditional core areas of mechanical engineering with applications to some of society’s most pressing problems in energy, environment, human health and transportation. State-of-the-art laboratories and computational facilities support the research and educational missions.

ASU’s mechanical engineering graduate faculty and students conduct innovative research in all of the traditional core areas of mechanical engineering with applications to some of society’s most pressing problems in energy, environment, human health and transportation. State-of-the-art laboratories and computational facilities support the research and educational missions. This program is offered by the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport, and Energy at ASU.

Solar Energy Engineering and Commercialization, M.S.

The objective of the program is to enable graduates to pursue careers in industry, government, or the nonprofit sector that involve solar energy and its utilization. Students will engage with the solar energy industry and/or government policymakers, as part of a required culminating applied research project. This program is offered by the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport, and Energy at ASU.

Sustainable Engineering, M.S

This program teaches about how to integrate complex social, environmental, political and economic factors so that organizations and clients can be delivered environmentally, socially and economically efficient engineering solutions.The program allows students to select different program areas of study: Earth systems engineering and management; Industrial ecology; Energy systems including conservation and alternate energy technologies; Life cycle assessment and other environmental assessment tools; and Green buildings science and construction practices. This program is offered by the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment at ASU.

Sustainability Solutions, M.S.

The Master of Sustainability Solutions (MSUS) is designed to prepare students to apply sustainability principles and approaches to careers in a variety of fields, addressing complex human and environmental challenges. Students with an MSUS will have the knowledge base and skill sets to bring sustainability solutions to corporate, government, and NGO sectors.
