In 2014, National Instruments (NI) partnered with ASU to successfully organize the first NI Innovation Design Competition for Young Entrepreneurs in Vietnam.

In December, Intel Products Vietnam celebrated the 10th anniversary since the launch of its business activities in Vietnam. Intel’s announcement to invest in Vietnam in 2006 helped put the country on the global map in the IT and electronics industry, attracting industry suppliers and service providers and bolstering both economic and social outcomes.

On November 19, 2016, a group of engineering students from Ho Chi Minh University of Technology (HCMUT) engaged in a dynamic classroom approach: Project Based Learning (PBL). By using this learning method, students can acquire deeper knowledge about real-world problems, as well as participate in solving complex questions, real-world problems or challenges. It is a comprehensive perspective focused on teaching by engaging students in the investigation.

In December, HEEAP awarded scholarships to 109 female students from the university and college partners of HEEAP programs. The total value of all scholarships is 708.5 million VND.

During the summer of 2016, two cohorts of engineering professors from Vietnam participated in workshops on outcomes-based assessment and active learning techniques at ASU.

Huong Nguyen is a young woman actively promoting STEM education in Vietnam through her work at ASU. Recently, she co-authored a paper with ASU’s Scott Danielson and Kathy Wigal that was reviewed by the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE). Her paper, “Comparison of AUN-QA and ABET Accreditation,” was published in the proceedings of the ASEE’s 123rd Annual Conference and Exposition.

HEEAP designed a one-day workshop for the University of Danang - University of Science and Technology (UD-DUT) that focused on training faculty to leverage Learning Management Systems (LMS) for blended learning and teaching.
