Nearly 200 delegates from 55 domestic and foreign universities are participating in the 2018 CDIO Asian Regional Meeting in the central city of Da Nang from March 12-14 to boost cooperation in technical training.
The Vietnam National University - Ho Chi Minh City (VNUHCM) will continue to adopt conceiving-designing-implementing-operating (CDIO) as the framework for its member universities’ curriculum planning and outcome-based assessment until 2020.
Implementation of Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate principles have helped 10 universities in Vietnam reform curricula, providing students with skills, knowledge and attitudes needed by businesses.
The teaching method of Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) is a
novel approach to engineering education that meets the demands of the
21st century, professor Johan Malmqvist, dean of education at Chalmers
University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, has said.
The conceive-design-implement-operate (CDIO) model is viewed as a good
model for universities in Vietnam that want to integrate
internationally, experts have said.
At the two-day
workshop that ends on Dec. 14, Dr.Nguyen Duc Nghia, head of the Vietnam
National University-HCM City, said the university in January began
implementing an eight-year pilot CDIO project.
The Ministry of Education and Training
has organised a seminar on developing training programmes under the
Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) model in Ho Chi Minh City from
Jan. 11-12 to help universities access new training methods.
