| Summary: |
Objectives/Activities: The overall aim of the project ASIASAFE is to develop, adapt and implement an advanced and modern master curricula, either diploma or a full master programme, in the field of Road Traffic Safety within joint efforts between EU and ID‐MY-VN partner Universities according to EU Traffic Safety standards and best practices, and national accreditation standards. These curricula will be supported by innovative approaches for teaching and learning. The new/upgraded courses will target both students and professionals, include training, in order to produce a new generation of engineers in ID‐MY‐VN with excellent theoretical and practical skills in traffic safety in terms of design, operation, planning and management. The project will share EU best practices and innovative experiences to support the development of new/existing courses, capacity and knowledge building in Traffic Safety at the partner universities. The developed curricula will be based on market analysis needs and job demands for graduate engineers. It will be tailored to the problems, needs and local traffic characteristics in ID‐MY‐VN.
Results/Impact: The project will offer courses (diploma or a degree) at Master level. The courses examine different traffic accident theories, causes, factors, challenges and countermeasures within traffic safety field. Additionally, bringing new modern IT solutions and best practices in solving the problem, besides ICT supported methods in teaching and learning. Offering these important curricula (master programme/diploma for students and specialised courses for professionals) in Traffic Safety in ID‐MY‐VN will significantly increase the popularity of this topic and benefit ultimately the whole society in country and South ASIA region as well. |
