Foreword

Established in 1957, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT) was known
as Phu Tho National Technical Center, the only institution that trained engineers in
Southern Vietnam before the country-reunification. Through years witnessing memo-
rable changes in establishment and development, HCMUT has still remained the lead-
ing university in science and engineering in Southern Vietnam with high reputation
for its glorious history, highly qualified graduates, innovative training quality, profes-
sional human resources, impactful research work and successful alumni. HCMUT also
impresses its partner that the employment rate after one-year of graduation is listed among the highest in Vietnam.
For a long time, HCMUT has become a brand name of innovation and excellence.

At global level, HCMUT engages itself in international accreditation and successfully gets accredited by ABET,
AUN-QA, HCERES… HCMUT currently has 2 programs recognized by ABET, 7 by CTI, 1 by FIBAA, 1 by ACBSP/AMBA/
IACBE and 13 by AUN. The university has also gained profound experience in international cooperation by
participating in international academic networks and projects which can further enhance its human resources
and research capabilities as well as dramatically increasing the number of outbound and inbound scholar and
student mobility.

In recent years, HCMUT has developed a strong linkage with academia and industry regionally and globally. The
growing collaboration inspires HCMUT to produce a substantial and thorough introduction about its capabilities
and facilities. The Engineering Directory was initiated in such context for the purpose of clearly & structurally
describing the University’s top prioritized research fields, laboratory services, experts and their successes in bridging
the gaps between the rising demands of industries and the available supplies from the university.

The booklet which you are holding is the latest edition of our Engineering Directory presenting solid details
on engineering faculties, key laboratories, research and incubation centers, research interests, academic staff and
research services of our university. It is categorized in 10 main engineering faculties, including: Applied Sciences,
Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Science & Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering,
Environment & Natural Resources, Geology & Petroleum Engineering, Materials Technology, Mechanical Engineering,
Transportation Engineering. Information about School of Industrial Management, research and training centers,
incubation center and key labs is also included. The table of content is arranged based on the aforementioned
categories which aims at comfortable and convenient searching for a specific source of information.
On behalf of HCMUT, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to all faculties, centers and laboratories
who dedicatedly contribute to the university’s research and academic activities. That valuable contribution will
importantly build up opportunities for future partnership between HCMUT and potential partners. I strongly
believe that the Directory will meet our expectations in connecting academia and industry, thus, strengthening
technology transfer, improving training quality, and serving the community.
