DTU's Construction students also won the IDEERS Asia-Pacific Competition, while even undergraduate students in the Biotechnology Engineering field had a Q1 journal publication.
The efforts of the faculty and students at SET have made it a cornerstone for creating new breakthroughs, providing the best learning opportunities for students interested in these sectors.
DTU School of Engineering & Technology (SET) graduates receive their diplomas
Architecture, Construction, and Environment sectors boast a 100% employment rate and are ranked in the Top 200+ globally
In the QS World Rankings by Subjects 2023, DTU achieved international rankings in several fields for the first time. Among them, Architecture and Construction ranked in the Top 201-230. This underscores the efforts to enhance training quality and establish standard facilities in each field to provide students with a solid theoretical foundation alongside practical skills.
Currently, DTU offers specific programs in the Architecture and Construction sector, including:
• Civil Engineering with specializations in:
- Civil and Industrial Construction,
- Bridge and Road Construction,
- Civil and Industrial Construction under CSU standard (Advanced Program)
• Construction Engineering Technology with a specialization in:
- Construction Management
• Architecture with specializations in:
- Architectural Engineering,
- Architectural Engineering under CSU standard (Advanced Program)
• Interior Architecture with a specialization in:
- Interior Design
- Graphic Design
• Fashion Design
Students in these programs benefit from the collaborative efforts of DTU with many domestic and international universities. Special mention goes to the collaboration and implementation of training programs with:
- California State University, Fullerton: One of the top public universities on the West Coast of the United States for Construction,
- Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo: Ranked in the Top 5 in the U.S. for Architecture at the undergraduate level.
These collaborations introduce the first Advanced Programs in Architecture and Construction in Da Nang and Central Vietnam.
Students studying Construction, Architecture, and Environment at DTU can rest assured as 100% of graduates in recent years have secured employment immediately after graduation.
In particular, for the past nine years (since 2014), DTU's Construction and Architecture students have once again won the IDEERS Competition - Asia-Pacific Earthquake Engineering Design Competition. This prestigious competition in Asia has participants from leading universities across the continent such as Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), Hong Kong University of Science & Technology (China), Pusan National University (South Korea), National Taiwan University (China), Pukyong National University (South Korea), etc.
The DTU team won the Championship Cup and the SET-DTU team won the Third Prize in the competition.
DTU students design and compete in earthquake-resistant house models.
For the Environmental sector, the combination of teaching and involving students in scientific research activities from the early years has provided students with valuable experience in addressing current environmental issues. Specific activities include Waste Management, Textile Wastewater Treatment, Aquaculture Wastewater Treatment, Evaluation of Marine Environment Quality after the Formosa Incident, and more recently, research and consultation for Da Nang city on urgent issues such as landslides, beach erosion, groundwater salinization, and water resources during dry seasons.
Studying Automotive Engineering with state-of-the-art labs worth nearly 20 billion VND
Students in Automotive Engineering will experience Safe Driving or practice on training equipment for traditional gasoline or diesel vehicles and modern electric vehicles.
The Automotive practice workshop is always open for students to study
The Automotive Engineering Practice Workshop comprises 5 lab rooms:
- Automotive Engine Room,
- Automotive Mechanical Room,
- Automotive Frame Room,
- Automotive Electrical Room,
- Modern Automotive Lab & Technology
An investment of nearly 20 billion VND in equipment from South Korea, Germany, and Japan, makes it a highlight in Automotive Engineering education at DTU. From here, Duy Tan students will have the opportunity to secure good positions at major automobile manufacturing plants such as Thaco Truong Hai, VinFast, or automobile showrooms, etc.
Accompanying the Automotive Engineering sector are various fields in Electrical-Electronics, including:
1. Electrical-Electronic Engineering Technology (ABET accredited) with specializations in:
- Automatic Control,
- Telecommunications Electronics,
- Electrical-Electronics under PNU standard (Advanced Program, in collaboration with Purdue University, USA),
- Semiconductor Circuit Design
2. Mechanical Engineering Technology is a traditional field of Mechanical Engineering.
3. Control Engineering & Automation with specializations in:
- Control Engineering and Automation,
- Electromechanics under PNU standard (Advanced Program, in collaboration with Purdue University, USA).
4. Electrical Engineering
The Electrical-Electronics Engineering departments of DTU cooperate with Purdue University, USA, and have been accredited by ABET - the "gold" standard for Science and Engineering Education in the United States since late August 2020 with the highest accreditation level of 6 years, bringing about certain effectiveness in training.
Biotechnology Engineering students with outstanding Q1 journal publications in the lecture hall
Successfully implementing the project "Application of ITS Molecular Markers in Identifying Species of Fungi on Cordyceps militaris," students Le Nguyen Gia Thi and their research team from the Biotechnology Engineering field, Duy Tan University, published a Q1 paper with an IF index of 4.6 in the prestigious international journal Scientific Reports (part of the Nature Portfolio). The project also won the "Outstanding Poster Presentation" award at the 5th National Mycology Conference held in Hanoi on November 26, 2023.

Not only Gia Thi but all Biotechnology Engineering students at the university have very favorable conditions for studying and conducting scientific research in the modern laboratories of DTU. They also participate in conferences, seminars, both domestically and internationally, to exchange experiences and collaborate with research groups in related fields. Students are directly taught and guided by experienced lecturers who have graduated from prestigious universities worldwide. Among them is Dr. Nguyen Thanh Trung - the instructor of Gia Thi and also the author of the model "Household Scale Cordyceps militaris Cultivation Cabinet" - who won the First Prize in the Start-up Innovation Competition in Da Nang (SURF) in 2022.
Food Technology students design, package, and bring products to market
