Description
Summary:SSME (Service Science, Management and Engineering) is a new multi-disciplinary effort that integratesaspects of established fields such as operations research, engineering, management sciences, businessstrategy, social and cognitive sciences, computer science, and legal sciences to train businessprospective leaders for a service mindset. CDIO (Conceive - Design - Implement - Operate) is conceptualdesign, implementation and operation, which is originated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology(USA). Basically, CDIO is a solution to improve the quality of training to meet social requirementsdetermined on the basis of outcomes of academic programs. In this paper, first, SSME concepts and principles of the CDIO approach are reviewed. Then, results of abenchmarking survey of experts’ opinion on how core modules in SSME disciplines meet different levelsof learning outcomes based on the CDIO approach are analyzed. Next, two SSME-related B.Sc.programs, namely B.Sc. (Information System Management) program in the Singapore ManagementUniversity and B.Sc. (Business Information Management) program in the University of Industry, HỒ Chi Minh City, Vietnam are observed. Finally, a possible proposal on design and implementation of a SSME academic program based on the CDIO approach at VNU-IS is discussed.
