The Department of Materials Engineering is responsible for training highly qualified human resources in the field of metallurgy and materials. Education programs are designed and built according to the credit system with output standards that help students update theory, improve their ability to work independently, strengthen the ability to conduct research and solve problems in the industry or training major. Postgraduate courses are lectured with the aim of supplementing and improving knowledge studied at undergraduate degree, updating specialized knowledge in materials science and engineering, expanding interdisciplinary knowledge in manufacturing technology, processing and using materials.
With an enrollment of about 300 undergraduate students a year, the Department of Materials Engineering is currently implementing 02 credit-based education programs: Materials Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering (taught in English) - one of the first 10 advanced programs based on the original program of the University of Illinois (UIUC, USA) - approved in 2006 in Vietnam.
The education program of the Department of Materials Engineering aims to enhance the adaptability of students to social development, towards self-training during working; helping students acquire practical and attractive basic knowledge of the industry due to its wide application features, diversity, multi-principles, science, engineering and modern technology of materials. The focus of the education program is on basic knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics of the combination of atoms that form compound phases and structure, the relationship between structure, properties, manufacturing and use of materials. Innovation in content, updating teaching and assessment methods to promote the initiative and self-study of under- and graduate students, creating an environment for comprehensive human development are always concerned issues.
In addition, the Department of Materials Engineering also trains according to other models in the form of joint training, 2nd degree, granting training certificates, and additional training for agencies and companies in need.
