While Nature of Engineering (NOE) views are increasingly growingstateside, it is equally important to look at the views of NOE globally. Following the Vietnamesefaculty research experience with hands-on laboratory projects under US engineering researchmentors, we will examine how Vietnamese engineers’ NOE views have changed throughinterviews and open-ended written assessments. Although there are some attempts in assessingteachers’ and students’ NOE views, according to the authors’ knowledge, there is no priorresearch which assessed NOE views of international engineering faculty in a higher educationsetting.

Additionally, we witnessed a “giving back” philosophy in which freshmanstudents who were recipients of these services became mentors or tutors when they became juniors and seniors. Mentors and tutorswere employed by the project and paid an hourly wage.What also made this program fit into a student-type “learning community” was it was housed within its own facility located on themain campus. This was a large modular unit which became central to all program activities. This unit contained a student computerlaboratory, faculty digital media laboratory, tutoring center, conference room, and student meeting space. It was open to all STEMstudents and faculty.

If students had class, or needed toattend their professor’s office hours or meet with student groups, or utilize laboratory or studiofacilities in their respective colleges, they were able to step out for these engagements and thenreturn. The general idea was to have a central study location that students would study in forthree days straight during the day. They also had vouchers which could be used for lunch. After5:20 pm they could continue their regular evening schedules, which might include studying orcompleting final assignments. This was a mandatory event. On Day 1

We start with the premise that there are twokinds of innovation: market-pull and knowledge-push. Market-pull innovations are those inwhich entrepreneurs identify a customer need first through customer discovery and then seek thetechnology required. Business schools traditionally focus on teaching entrepreneurs how torespond to market-pulls. Knowledge-pull innovations originate with an inventor or scientist; theentrepreneur then strives to connect the laboratory discovery and technical innovations with acustomer need. We believe that knowledge-push innovations often

ASEAN institutions often face significant costs in bothareas as a culture of accreditation often is not present. There are relatively few programsaccredited by either ABET or AUN within the ASEAN system, so many do not have experiencewith the costs of either system.
