The GECKO project aims to develop student capabilities and improve student employability through the exchange of good practices and the development of regional cooperation in higher education in three ASEAN countries (the Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand). The project specifically targets engineering students, aiming to provide them with the necessary management and linguistic skills to become attractive to both local and international employers. The project will support two major academic activities, in order to better adapt the current curriculum to the local labour market, thus promoting regional integration.The 1st activity includes the development and implementation of a multidisciplinary curriculum by international academic teams in order to enrich teaching and learning in the classroom and at home. This new curriculum will be supported by innovative teaching materials and modern teaching technologies such as online tools, MOOC, SPOC and e-learning. The 2nd activity focuses on improving regional cooperation to promote open-minded, critical, and innovative thinking in international teams. This will result in turn in the development of curriculum that encapsulates both global and regional aspects. Master students will participate in these joint initiatives that will be enhanced by ICT-based tools, to acquire the skills needed to be effective global citizens.In terms of multi-skills and innovative digital tools, teacher training is also one of GECKO’s central components and will be implemented through a theoretical and practical approach (E-learning session, exchange of experience, staff weeks, etc.). The project therefore facilitates the transfer, of knowledge and understanding of the multi-skills, leading in turn to a better employability for engineering students in Asia. This knowledge can be applied and developed, from the end of the project onwards, on all of the courses at the partner universities, and in the long term throughout ASEAN universities.
