School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, HaUI: Educational Quality Validated by Industry Recognition

In the context of higher education facing strong demands for innovation to keep pace with scientific and technological development and the need for high-quality human resources, the relationship between universities and enterprises is increasingly becoming an important measure of training effectiveness. For the School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, Hanoi University of Industry (HaUI), positive feedback from enterprises is not only a form of recognition but also a confirmation of the effectiveness of the practice-oriented training model that the University has been persistently pursuing.

Recently, Yamaguchi Vietnam Joint Stock Company and Vietnam Precision Industrial Co., Ltd. 1 (VPIC1) gave positive evaluations of students from the School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering during their internships and practical experience at the enterprises. The objective comments from these employers show that the School's students not only possess a solid professional foundation but also demonstrate the ability to adapt quickly, a professional working manner, and a positive spirit of learning.

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Hien, representative of the General Human Resources Administration Officer of Yamaguchi Vietnam Joint Stock Company, students from the School were highly rated from the very early stage of their internship at the enterprise: "SMAE’s students have a firm grasp of basic knowledge in mechanical manufacturing, production processes, CNC technology, new automobiles, and equipment system operation. They are able to quickly familiarize themselves with machinery, high-tech equipment, and actual production processes. Right in the first few weeks of entering the factory, the students were already able to effectively support production stages, so the enterprise did not have to spend much time retraining them in foundational knowledge."

In addition to technical competence, enterprises also recognized students' sense of responsibility, discipline, willingness to learn, and teamwork ability. These are important factors that help students adapt quickly to the industrial working environment, gradually demonstrate their own capabilities, and build trust with employers. This positive feedback from enterprises is the result of a systematic, long-term investment by the School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering in building a training environment closely linked to industrial production and the labor market's human resource needs.

Training linked to practice – the foundation of quality

To meet the requirements of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the rapid changes in the labor market, the School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering continuously reviews and updates its training programs in a modern, practice-oriented direction, while enhancing professional experience for learners.

Students have access to advanced technological fields such as mechanical design and manufacturing, CNC machining, industrial robotics, artificial intelligence, smart manufacturing, electric vehicle technology, and new energy. Accompanying learners is a team of highly qualified lecturers and experts with extensive practical experience, always ready to support students in their studies, scientific research, and professional development.

One of the School's outstanding advantages is its system of more than 50 modern laboratories and practice rooms, including the HaUI – Beijing JingDiao Research Cooperation and Talent Training Center, the CNC Technology research laboratory, the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, the Smart Manufacturing and Technology Research Center…

A comprehensively invested learning environment provides students with opportunities to access advanced technologies, hone professional skills, and become familiar with real-world production processes throughout their studies.
