General introduction

The Department of Materials Engineering, formerly known as the School of Materials Science and Engineering (SMSE), is responsible for training human resources, research and development in the fields of materials science, engineering and technology, in which traditional metallurgy is considered the focus due to the importance of metallic materials. In the SMSE, the Department of Materials Engineering corresponds training in materials engineering and manufacturing technology, advanced and nanostructured materials from raw materials to metal and alloy smelting processes, forming technology, metal- and ceramics matrix composite materials, and surface treatment.

In recent years, the metallurgical and steel industry, and the mechanical industry have developed strongly, so most students have jobs right after graduation. Engineers graduated from the Department of Materials Engineering not only work in production sectors but can also work well in research institutes, universities and colleges, governmental management agencies, etc. Some undergraduates are transferred to study in master's degree in the country or abroad.

Among the alumni of the Department of Materials Engineering, there are those who have become senior leaders of the Communist Party, Government, and army; some have become lecturers and famous scientists of the country; many alumni are the excellent managers and talented businessmen recognized by the Government and the Society.

Time and event
  • On March 6, 1956, Minister of Education – Mr. Nguyen Van Huyen signed Decree No. 147/ND on the foundation of the Polytechnic Vocational University, now is the Hanoi University of Science and Technology.
  • On October 15, 1956, the University organized the Opening Ceremony of the first enrollment for 848 students admitted to 14 majors of 4 inter-faculties including: Mechanics - Electricity, Mining - Metallurgy, Construction and Chemistry - Food; among them there were 67 students majoring in Metallurgy. Since then, this day has become the Traditional Festival of Hanoi University of Science and Technology.
  • At that time, the Faculty of Mining and Metallurgy had 4 departments: Metallurgy, Geology, Mining and Mineral Selection, with Mr. Nguyen Duc Thua as Head and Mr. Nguyen Van Chien as Deputy Head.
  • In 1960, the Faculty of Metallurgy separated from the Faculty of Mining and Metallurgy, merged with Faculty of Mechanics to form the Faculty of Mechanics and Metallurgy, including the departments of Metallurgy, Hot Deformation and departments of Mechanics and Engine. The Head of the Faculty was still Mr. Nguyen Duc Thua.
  • In 1965, during the war, to maintain the training process, the University had to move to Lang Son province, the Faculty of Metallurgy was located at the zone H3. In 1966, in response to the need to develop the country's heavy industry, the Faculty of Metallurgy was separated to form an independent faculty with Mr. Ly Ngoc Sang as Head of the Faculty. The Faculty had 6 departments: Ferrous Metallurgy, Non-ferrous Metallurgy, Casting, Metallography and Heat Treatment, Rolling, and Industrial Furnaces. In 1968, the Faculty moved from the zone C of Lang Son province to Hiep Hoa of Ha Bac province. In 1972, the Faculty move back to Ha Bac province.
  • In 1975, the South of Vietnam was completely liberated, the Faculty of Metallurgy reluctantly said goodbye to some of its staffs who were residents of the South who returned hometown to become the core staffs to build the metallurgical industry at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Da Nang University of Technology. Among them, Mr. Ly Ngoc Sang was appointed as Rector and elected as Secretary of the Communist Party of Da Nang University of Technology.
  • In the happiness of national reunification, generations of lecturers and students of the Metallurgical Faculty could not forget the hard working days at the Bac - Hung - Hai construction (1958), the flood recovery period in Ha Bac province (1971), the hardships and lacks but the warm support of the people in the located areas, the heroic spirit of joining the army in the 3-ready movement and the brave years of protecting the capital's sky.
  • In 1984, implementing a two-level management mechanism, the Faculty of Metallurgy was divided into three major departments (later developed into faculties): Metallurgy (Ferrous Metallurgy and Non-ferrous Metallurgy), Casting - Heat Treatment (Casting Engineering and Metallography - Heat Treatment) and Deformation (Metal Rolling - Drawing and Forging Department from the Faculty of Mechanics). The Department of Furnace and Automation was transferred to other units of the Faculty of Electricity and the Faculty of Heat - Refrigeration Technology.
  • In 1994, the University returned to the 3-level management mechanism, the 3 above faculties merged into the Faculty of Metallurgy and Materials Technology headed by Associate Professor, Dr of Sci. Bui Van Muu with 5 departments. The sector of Forging and Stamping was transferred to the Faculty of Mechanics.
  • In June 2003, with the trend of international integration in undergraduate training, the Faculty changed its name to Materials Science and Technology.
  • On September 8, 2011, the Rector signed a decision to found the School of Materials Science and Engineering to suit the development, autonomy and self-responsibility of the University.
  • According to the Resolution of the Hanoi University of Science and Technology Council dated March 29, 2023, the new School of Materials Science and Engineering was restructured on the basis of the old School of Materials Science and Engineering; School of Textiles - Footwear and Fashion; International Training Institute for Materials Science (ITIMS), Polymer and Composite Materials Research Center and Department of Printing Technology. When switching to the new operating model, the old School of Materials Science and Engineering is called the Department of Materials Engineering.
