INTRODUCTION
The training program "Materials Engineering" is designed according to CDIO international standards and built based on the program of MIT – USA (the world's No. 1 in the field of materials), adapted to Vietnam's industry. The materials engineering program has been in existence for over 60 years, dating back to the formation and development of Hanoi University of Science and Technology. The goal of the program is to train high-level human resources in the field of traditional material manufacturing technology, advanced materials, and nanostructures, from source materials to metal and alloy smelting processes, forming technology, metal-based composite materials, and ceramic substrates, as well as heat and surface treatment.
The content of the Materials Engineering training program aims to equip students with a solid foundation in technical and professional knowledge, practical skills, and the capacity to participate in solving problems related to design and manufacturing in the field of Materials Science and Engineering.
The program has been internationally accredited by AUN-QA (the quality assurance organization of the ASEAN university network).
