This paper describes a novel model of education program and curricula in higher engineering to be employed in ASEANs and its related countries. Our investigation and research program consists of 10 universities including University of Brunei Darussalam, Institute of Technology at Cambodia, Institute of Technology at Bandung, National University of Laos, University of Technology in Malaysia, Yangon Technological University, De La Salle University at Philippines, Nanyang Technological University, Vietnam National university, and Advanced Institute of Industrial Technology in Japan. Our team made an MOU to conduct investigation to create a standard model of higher education program for engineering professions between 2015 to 2017. In this paper, we propose and introduce our invented education program and curricula, example of course in information technology and mechanical engineering, evaluation through questionnaires in external organizations. The proposed program consists 9 years program through high school to graduate school, but students can join in each school based on their needs. The contribution of this paper includes these three points; the proposed model is related with a human capitals development model to complement the existing engineering professional education; schools provide professional education program to execute effective learning; and the proposed model enables to be employed in current various schools easily. © 2017 IEEE.
