The 2022 series of BUILD-IT forums focus on key topics from the BUILD-IT playbooks as prioritized by university partners. Topics may include Institutional Accreditation, Project Based-Learning, Digital Immersion Learning, Program Accreditation (AUN-ABET), Industry Advisory Boards, Women in STEM, Maker Innovation Network, and Faculty Development and Active Learning, etc. Sessions will be held face-to-face (public health permitting) utilizing locations in Hanoi and HCMC. ASU and Vietnamese faculty experts will teach and conduct these sessions. BUILD-IT anticipates that, the Playbooks will become recognized resources and utilized for university and HEI planning and will be utilized to build scale – reaching additional universities and engineering programs throughout Vietnam for sustainable, nationwide change.

About this Forum: The BUILD-IT Applied Problem-Based Learning Forum brings together members of academia, government, and industry to share and discuss Applied Problem-Based Learning success stories in Vietnamese Higher Education. The core competency for a prepared and effective workforce is developed through Problem-Based Learning, which motivates students to take responsibility in the learning process. To help university faculty become more adept in this manner of instruction, BUILD-IT created and implemented the Certified Facilitator and Master Teacher Training program to promote Applied Problem-Based Learning in classrooms to help prepare them for the industry 4.0 workforce. Guest speakers will highlight their perspectives and experiences on changes they have seen in the past decade and how those changes have been influenced by the ever-changing demands of the workforce in Vietnam.
