. Since 1950-s, there was intensive international cooperation inthe area of training Vietnamese students in Soviet universities for industrial companies inVietnam. Training of students was accompanied by academic mobility of Soviet engineerswho contributed to the implementation of industrial projects in Vietnam.The decay of the Soviet Union resulted in drop in the number of joint projects in engineeringeducation. Vietnamese students also shifted their focus to other countries (such as the U.S.)offering a good system of engineering education. Russia is trying to progress in internationalcooperation with Vietnam and has almost returned its position in the number of students.Table 1 represents selected statistics of Russia, Vietnam and their

We adoptedRichard Lyons‘ definition of innovation - fresh thinking that creates value for all thestakeholders12 - for developing our framework. This includes two elements – fresh thinking orcreativity and value delivery. Fresh thinking results in generating a number of quality ideas andchoosing the best idea(s) and value delivery entails, developing solutions and deploying them toensure benefit to the stakeholders.

%) reported that they intend toattend college. Of those intending to attend college, (57%) plan to major in a STEM discipline.Following the camp, students were asked about their academic interests. Student participantsreported their degree of interest in Language Arts, Social Studies, Mathematics, and Science on a6‐point Likert scale (1 = Not Interested at All, 6 = Very Interested). The student participantswere most interested in Science (M = 5.43, SD = 1.03), followed by Mathematics (M = 4.38, SD= 1.56), Social Studies (M = 4.09, SD = 1.68), and Language Arts (M = 2.86, S = 1.42).When trying to look at motivation of students to participate in STEM disciplines, the internalevaluation team developed instrumentation to measure the impact of project
