UNIVERSITY TRAINING

The six week training program for University based faculty will be instructed by a core group of faculty from ASU, led by Dr. David Benson. In addition to the core faculty, content experts from ASU's Main Campus and industry leaders will be invited to lead sessions and provide workshops. Vietnamese faculty will learn from a network of mentor faculty within their specific topic areas and across disciplines. Intel and other industry leaders will provide models of how they collaborate with U.S. schools in curriculum design, research, and student projects to assure that university graduates are work-ready. Vietnamese faculty tour and observe labs and learn methodologies of how to integrate labs and applied research programs into the classroom.

VOCATIONAL AND UNIVERSITY LEADERSHIP AND INNOVATION INSTITUTE

The Vocational and University Leadership and Innovation Institute (VULII) provides educational capacity-building and training workshops and support for multiple levels within the Vietnamese educational system, ranging from ministry officials and university rectors to mid-level administrators, academic and professional staff and engineering program faculty leaders who are preparing the next generation of the engineering workforce. Strategic planning and implementation at the institutional level requires significant change within all relevant parts of the organization, so VULII focuses on multiple levels of the various Ministries and academic institutions.
