- Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo: ranked in the Top 5 in the US for undergraduate Architecture, enabling the implementation of the first Advanced Programs in Architecture and Construction in Da Nang and Central Vietnam.
Specifically, for the Environmental Science major, the combination of teaching and engaging students in scientific research activities from the early years has provided students with valuable experience in addressing current "hot" environmental issues, such as: Household waste treatment, Textile dyeing wastewater treatment, Seafood processing wastewater treatment, Evaluation of marine environmental quality after the Formosa incident, and recently, research and consultancy for the city of Da Nang on critical issues such as: Beach erosion, Saltwater intrusion, Water resource management during drought seasons, etc.
In the Automotive Engineering Technology major, students will experience: Safe Driving practices and hands-on training with both traditional gasoline and diesel vehicles as well as the latest electric cars.
The DTU Automotive Workshop System features five labs:
- Automotive Engine Lab
- Automotive Mechanics Lab
- Automotive Chassis Lab
- Automotive Electrical Lab
- Automotive & Modern Technology Lab
With an investment of nearly 20 billion VND, these labs are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment from South Korea, Germany, and Japan, making them a highlight of the university's automotive training program. This investment ensures that DTU students have the skills and knowledge to secure excellent positions at major automotive manufacturers such as Thaco Truong Hai, VinFast, and various automotive showrooms.
Also, DTU offers a diverse range of programs in the Electrical-Electronic field, including:
ELECTRICAL - ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY with majors in:
• Electrical Automation
• Electronics and Telecommunications
• PNU-standard Electrical-Electronic (advanced program in collaboration with Purdue University, USA)
MACHINE MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY, a traditional program in Mechanical Engineering.
CONTROL & AUTOMATION ENGINEERING
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
MECHATRONICS ENGINEERING with specialization in:
- PNU-standard Mechatronics (advanced program in collaboration with Purdue University, USA).
DTU's Electrical-Electronic Engineering programs, in collaboration with Purdue University, USA, have achieved ABET accreditation, the "gold standard" in Science and Engineering education in the US, since late August 2020, with the highest accreditation level of 6 years. This accreditation is yielding significant benefits in education and training.
Not only Gia Thi but all students pursuing Biotechnology at DTU are provided with exceptionally favorable conditions for study and scientific research in its modern laboratories. Additionally, they have opportunities to attend specialized conferences and workshops both domestically and internationally, allowing them to exchange knowledge and collaborate with research groups in their fields of interest. The students are also taught and guided by experienced lecturers who have graduated from prestigious universities worldwide. Among them is Dr. Nguyen Thanh Trung, the advisor for Gia Thi and the creator of the "Household-Scale Cordyceps Cultivation Cabinet" model, which won first prize in the Da Nang Innovation Startup Competition (SURF) in 2022.
Recognized as talented generation of Gen Z students, the DTU Food Technology students have improved existing products and created new ones to diversify the agricultural and food product structures of many localities. Additionally, they have been involved in designing and packaging to create products that are both attractive and beneficial to the community.
Some of their notable achievements include:
- In 2022, Coffee Jam, winning a Second prize (no first prize awarded) in the National "Post-Harvest Processing Technology" competition and a Second prize in the "Creative Products of Da Nang City" competition;
- The project "Research on the Harvest Time of Mustard Greens Microgreens", winning a second prize at the 6th Scientific Conference on "Food Safety and Food Security".
- Cheery Lady Tea, a herbal tea supporting menstrual pain relief, winning a Consolation prize in the 2021 "Post-Harvest Processing Technology" competition.
In addition to many specific products currently under research, such as:
- Tea made from Robusta coffee husks in Vietnam
- Herbal tea bags from Codonopsis
- Bottled ginseng drink production line
- Edible film from polysaccharides in algae
- Oyster mushroom snacks
