ASEAN University Network Southeast Asia Engineering Education Development Network AUN/SEED-Net Implementation Guidelines and Application Form for Doctoral Degree Sandwich Program For the Japanese Fiscal Year 2013 AUN/SEED-Net Project As of November 12, 2012 AUN/SEED-Net Doctoral Degree Sandwich Program 2013; p. 1/20 1. Project Background The concept of the SEED-Net evolved at the ASEAN-Japan Summit Meeting held in December 1997 and the central issue became how to upgrade higher engineering education by way of creating engineering institutions’ networks ASEAN-wide. As a result of a series of discussions and preparations between ASEAN Member Countries and Japan, the ASEAN University Network/Southeast Asia Engineering Education Development Network (AUN/SEED-Net) was established in 2001 as a sub-network of ASEAN University Network (AUN). After two years of preparation, full-scale operation started in March 2003 for five years as the Phase 1 cooperation, which was then followed by another five year project as the Phase 2 cooperation, supported by Japanese Government through Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). In the last decade the AUN/SEED-Net has supported young academic staff of Member Institutions to acquire higher degrees (master’s degree and/or Ph.D.) by providing them opportunities to study at leading Member Institutions in the region or at supporting universities in Japan. As a result, around 900 academic staff have already obtained opportunities to study for higher degrees, with most of these having returned to teach students at universities in their respective countries. At the same time, the project has strengthened the research capacity of academic staff in ASEAN Member Countries by supporting collaborative research, academic staff exchange, academic conference, “ASEAN Engineering Journal” and so on. As a result, around 700 collaborative research projects have been undertaken, and more than 1,000 academic papers have been published. Over 1,300 in total academic staff have also participated in exchange programs between institutions in the network. Through these activities the AUN/SEED-Net has succeeded in strengthening the engineering faculties of each Member Institution. Based on these remarkable achievements, the ASEAN Member Countries, Member Institutions, the Government of Japan and JICA have a strong intention to continue the AUN/SEED-Net aiming to bring about larger impacts not only to other universities in the region and Japan, but also to industry and community by making more direct contribution to the socio-economic development in the region and Japan. After continuous discussion, all parties agreed to implement the Phase 3 Project of AUN/SEED-Net with these following objectives : (1) Contribution to advancement and globalization of regional industry (2) Contribution to solution of regional common issues in Asia (3) Establishment of human resource development platform in science and technology in Asia 2. Program Concept (1) AUN/SEED-Net provides scholarships to highly qualified young faculty staff / prospective young faculty staff of Member Institutions to acquire Doctoral degrees in ten engineering fields. (2) During three years of the scholarship, student will be jointly supervised by advisor at Host Institution and Japanese co-advisor from Japanese Supporting Universities to conduct the high-quality thesis research under the supporting program called Collaborative Research Program. Students are eligible to make Short-Term Study in Japan to do the research with Japanese Co-Advisor for the duration of 8 months. (3) AUN/SEED-Net promotes collaboration between its members and industry, and it is essential for the prospective young faculty staff to study the concept of Management of Technology (MOT), mainly in Intellectual Property (IP) and Marketing and Innovation. The opportunity to join MOT course will be offered. (4) AUN/SEED-Net Program provides supporting programs to our alumni to continuously improve their research and educational capacity such as the support of research conducted with Japanese professors, participation to conferences, as well as publication in international journals. Our alumni, who are fostered to be the leading human resources in engineering in each ASEAN country, are expected to the AUN/SEED-Net Doctoral Degree Sandwich Program 2013; p. 2/20 link between academicians in ASEAN and Japan and further strengthen the AUN/SEED-Net Network. 3. Objectives (1) To increase the number of high quality doctoral degree holders in engineering at Member Institutions which would be necessary to contribute to a sustainable development of ASEAN countries. (2) To strengthen doctoral degree programs at Host Institutions so that the production of high quality doctoral degree holders in engineering needed for the region is materialized within the region in collaboration with Member Institutions and Japanese Supporting Universities. (3) To strengthen human networking among teaching staff of Member Institutions and Japanese Supporting Universities. (4) To have a part of the doctoral dissertation of AUN/SEED-Net’s sandwich students published in international refereed journals. 4. Applicant Eligibility (1) Applicants must hold a master’s degree in a relevant engineering field, or to be awarded the master’s degree before starting the doctoral degree program.
