By occasion of International Women’s Day (March 8, 2014), HEEAP would like to congratulate and celebrate all women, especially our female participants throughout the years. Congratulations and thank you for all you do to make this world a better place! Below are two exemplary women engineers that have been part of our training cohorts at ASU.

“This class is completely different than traditional classes,” said student Luu Bao Ngoc, 21. “We learn how to problem-solve in a new way.”

Intel Products Vietnam granted 109 scholarships Friday, November 29, 2013, awarding female university and vocational students a total value of 708 million VND. Intel awards these Vocational Female Students Scholarships annually under the umbrella of the Higher Engineering Education Alliance Program (HEEAP). 

As a part of the joyful, welcoming atmosphere at Cao Thang Technical College’s (CTTC) “Welcome New Students 2013” event, members of the HEEAP 2013 cohort organized "Active Learning with Legos," a game-show type competition that created an active, playground-like learning atmosphere for new students while helping them develop soft skills.

PROGRAM BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is exploring new opportunities to use science and technology to meet the world’s development challenges. As part of its science and technology strategy, USAID is supporting various mechanisms to leverage the investments that other U.S. government agencies make in scientific research and training.

The summer of 2013 saw HEEAP’s very first All-Female Vocational Cohort. 14 Female Vietnamese Engineering teachers from Cao Thang Technical College, Ho Chi Minh Vocational College of Technology and the Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City traveled to Arizona State University, where they spent four weeks completing HEEAP training.
