Faculty of Mechanical Engineering

1. History and development:

The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, formerly the Faculty of Electromechanics, is one of the first units of the University of Economics – Technology for Industries. After several stages of upgrading and renaming, by 2004, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering was officially established after the Faculty of Electromechanics was divided into two faculties: Mechanical Engineering and Electrical and Electronic Engineering. After more than 68 years of effort and development, with many organizational and operational models adjusted to suit each period, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering has now built a team of staff and lecturers as well as facilities that it can be proud of, meeting the development requirements of the new stage. As of May 2024, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering is conducting training in 01 Master’s program in Mechanical Engineering, 03 undergraduate programs including Mechanical Engineering Technology (program code 7510201), Mechatronics Engineering Technology (program code 7510203), and Automotive Engineering Technology (program code 7510205). The current student scale of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering exceeds 2,100 students.

2. Achievements:

The Faculty collective has received many Certificates of Merit from the Ministry of Industry and Trade; the Emulation Flag for units with outstanding achievements from the Vietnam Public Employees’ Trade Union; Certificates of Merit from the People’s Committee of Hai Ba Trung District; many individuals have been awarded Certificates of Merit from the Ministry of Industry and Trade and have been recognized for many years as an Outstanding Labor Collective. In addition, many individuals have been awarded the title of Emulation Fighter of the Ministry of Industry and Trade and received Certificates of Merit from the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Hai Ba Trung District Labor Federation.

3. Organizational structure:

Regarding organizational structure, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering currently has 01 Party Cell responsible for Party-related work, and 01 Faculty Executive Board responsible for management and professional activities. Supporting the Faculty Executive Board in professional matters are 04 departments: the “Department of Manufacturing Engineering Technology”, the “Department of Machines and Machine Design Fundamentals”, the “Department of Mechatronics”, and the “Department of Automotive Engineering”. In addition, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering also has a Trade Union Group and a Youth Union Sub-committee associated with scientific research activities of clubs, responsible for movement activities and academic emulation of student members.

During its operation, it always follows the principle of Party leadership, faculty and departments’ implementation, and supervision and encouragement by the Trade Union. Party Cell and Trade Union meetings are held regularly, contributing effectively to professional activities.
