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.
According to Prof. Dr. Le Duc Ngoc, Director of the Centre for Accreditation, Measurement and Evaluation of Educational Quality (CAMEEQ), the CDIO-based training programmes, which focus on developing learners’ hard skill and “soft skill”, have been applied in more than 40 universities throughout the world, including the Ho Chi Minh City National University (HCMNU).
The CDIO Initiative was developed with inputs from academies, industries, engineers and students to define students’ needs in their training programmes and build integrated learning experiences.
It comprises 12 standards, including CDIO as context, CDIO syllabus outcomes, integrated curriculum, introduction to engineering, design-build experiences, CDIO workspaces, integrated learning experiences, active learning, enhancement of faculty CDIO skills, enhancement of faculty teaching skills, CDIO skill assessment and CDIO programme evaluation.
Since 2010, the HCMNU will experimentally apply the method in several majors at its member universities.
Dr. Nguyen Hoi Nghia from the HCMNU said that the university’s pilot CDIO project was built with six major groups of solutions based on the 12 CDIO standards, including developing training programmes, improving lecturers’ capacity and evaluating training programmes./.
