School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering: Elevating Vietnamese Engineers, asserting a global position with ABET standard programs taught in English.

In this era of digital and profound globalization, being professionally competent is no longer enough. Learners also need to possess the abilities to think, present, research and work in an international language. In this context, specialized English is “the key” that opens the door to integration, helping young people access a global knowledge base, master technology, and assert their capabilities in a modern work environment.

Seizing this trend, School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering (SMAE), Hanoi University of Industry (HaUI) has pioneered the implementation of fully English-taught programs for two key majors: Mechanical Engineering Technology and Automotive Engineering Technology. Especially, both of these majors have been accredited and recognized as meeting the international ABET standard - one of the most rigorous and prestigious technical program accreditation standards in the world. Achieving ABET accreditation not only demonstrates superior training quality but also provides a significant advantage for students when transferring for further study, working, or applying for jobs in developed countries.

Studying "cutting-edge" majors, keeping pace with global workforce trends

Mechanical Engineering Technology is dubbed the "backbone" of modern industry, playing an essential role in fields such as automated manufacturing, mechatronics, robotics, machine design and fabrication. Meanwhile, Automotive Engineering Technology is entering a period of explosive growth with the rise of new technologies like electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, AI in vehicle operation and management.

These are all majors that create numerous domestic career opportunities and open the door to the international labor market. Especially for students trained in the English-taught programs according to ABET accreditation, the opportunities to work for global corporations or pursue postgraduate studies abroad are wider than ever before. Studying entirely in English from the first year helps students develop an international academic mindset, access original curriculum, enhance their research, critical thinking and practical application skills.

Student Nguyen Thanh Tung - Automotive Class 5, Automotive Engineering Technology major shared: “At first, I was quite worried because specialized English is not easy. But thanks to a clear learning path, carefully selected documents and close support from lecturers, I was confident in reading and understanding the original documents and giving professional presentations entirely in English.

Modern bilingual learning environment - A solid foundation for global engineers

The highlight of SMAE’s training programs is the learning model combining theory, practice, soft skills, foreign languages, implemented in a bilingual, modern and internationally standardized academic environment. Students study in small classes of 30 - 50 people, ensuring personalized interaction, opportunities for discussion, presentation and in-depth practice.

The teaching staff are all experts with master's and doctoral degrees, who have studied and researched in countries with advanced education systems. They are not only good at their profession and foreign languages, but also accompany and inspire students' creativity and lifelong learning. The system of laboratories and workshops that meet industrial standards, along with internationally updated curriculum, helps students approach practical technology right from their school days.

SMAE’s students participated in seminars with experts from Korea.

Not stopping there, students also have the opportunity to intern and work at large enterprises such as Toyota, Honda, VinFast, Samsung, Thaco... Student Nguyen Phi Hoai Nam, class 4 Automobile - K16 shared: Thanks to studying in English, I easily accessed technical documents during my internship at VinFast factory, exchanged work with foreign engineers and was officially hired right after graduation.

SMAE has a long tradition in training good technical engineers, aiming at the model of global citizens: having in-depth knowledge, integration thinking, professional courage and innovative spirit. If you are passionate about technology, love engineering, and want to study in an international standard academic environment - where knowledge and foreign languages go hand in hand - then SMAE is the ideal start for young people who dare to be different and are ready to reach out to the world.
