Activities in Science and Technology

During the implementation of training activities, the faculty team has always strived to leverage their strengths and overcome existing challenges to continuously improve and develop the programmes. In the QS World University Rankings by subject for 2023, UET was ranked in the 501-520 range for the fields of Mechanical, Aeronautical and Manufacturing Engineering, based on five criteria: academic reputation, employer reputation, citation rate, H-index, and international research network.

The most popular areas of research include:

• Mechatronics
• Automation and Robotics
• Early landslide detection and warning systems
• Search and rescue drone swarms
• Hydro-pneumatic Industrial and Environmental issues
• Marine Engineering Mechanics
• Technical Diagnosis
• Mechanics of materials and composite structures
• Aerospace Technology

Many universities have recognized the importance of the collaboration model with research institutes. However, the implementation of this model has posed quite a few challenges. Since its establishment, the University of Engineering and Technology has paid proper attention to the combination of the university and research institutes. Professor Nguyen Van Hieu, the first rector of UET, was among the pioneers to carry out the policy on connecting the University with Research Institutes and enterprises. This is also the Party and Government’s policy to promote the nation’s internal resources for the development of science and technology. As an enthusiastic follower, Professor Nguyen Huu Duc has proposed the concept of “Faculty under co-management” and “Laboratory under co-management”. formation, the Faculty of Engineering Mechanics and Automation has worked closely with Institute of Mechanics, Vietnam Space Technology Institute, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, and Industrial Machinery and Instruments Holding (IMI). Thanks to these collaborations, the Faculty’s lecturers and researchers are provided with access to the multi-faceted laboratories owned by the University of Engineering & Technology and those owned by the partnership organizations, including the Laboratory for Industrial Hydraulics, Laboratory for Technical Diagnosis of Structures, Laboratory for Mechanics, Laboratory for Environmental Studies. Those laboratories provide sufficient equipment for measuring and field survey, calculation devices and mechanical calculation programs which can be applied in different fields such as Construction Mechanics and Mechanics of Machine, River, Sea and Air Mechanics, Industrial Hydraulics and Environment, Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering , Environmental Technology.

Outstanding scientific-technological activities recently implemented include:
– Organizing scientific research as part of multi-level research activities
– Organizing and promoting research-related activities such as supervising students’ research or graduation papers, theses and dissertations.
– Organizing seminars to introduce new approaches in scientific research and to present research findings.
– Cooperating with the Korea Foundation for International Cooperation of Science and Technology on human resource exchange.
– Cooperating with international academic institutions on the basis of co-supervisors for M.S students and Ph.D candidates (France, South Korea, Germany)
– Cooperating with the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (Seoul National University, Korea) on admission and scholarship-granting at the graduate level
– Establishing and promoting international cooperation via domestic and international conferences, academic exchange programs with research teams in South Korea, Japan, Czech Republic and other universities in the world.
