Ministry of Education and Training explains why studying semiconductor microchip requires a score of 8 in Math?

Responding to this concern of students. Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Anh Dung - Deputy Director of the Department of Higher Education ( Ministry of Education and Training ), thanked students for closely following information from the Ministry of Education and Training.

Mr. Dung said that the Ministry of Education and Training has just issued training program standards on semiconductor microchips at university and master's levels, in which the professional advisory board found that the basic knowledge for students to study well in semiconductor microchips and STEM is especially related to Mathematics.

"Later, in the process of studying and working in the semiconductor industry, you will use your knowledge of Mathematics a lot," Associate Professor Dung said.

He also added that when surveying students' learning outcomes as well as evaluating training outcomes for students studying engineering and technology related to semiconductor microchips, it showed that students need a foundation of Math knowledge of 8 points or higher to achieve the best results in the learning process.

However, the leaders of the Department of HigherEducation also noted that students need to carefully study the regulations because this training program standard applies to schools that will participate in the project to develop human resources for the Semiconductor Industry according to Decision 1017 of the Prime Minister.

"Schools that do not participate in the project will not be required to comply with this regulation. This means that schools can still enroll students in this industry with different regulations," said Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Anh Dung.

On May 15, the Ministry of Education and Training announced standard regulations on semiconductor microcircuit training at university and master's levels.

This standard applies to universities participating in the Government's project on Human Resource Development for the Semiconductor Industry to 2030, with a vision to 2050.

Accordingly, candidates who want to study bachelor's or engineering programs in semiconductor microchips, if admitted based on high school graduation exam results, must use a combination of Math and at least one natural science subject suitable for the semiconductor microchip training program.

The total score of the subjects in the admission combination must reach at least 80% of the scale, for example, at least 24/30 for a combination of three subjects. In addition, the Math score must reach at least 80% of the scale, for example, at least 8/10.

For those who have a university degree, they must have a degree appropriate to the training program they are applying for and have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.8/4 or higher.

For students studying in another university major and transferring to semiconductor microchip major at the time of consideration, a GPA of 2.5/4 or higher is required.

The Science and Technology Admissions Fair took place at the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, 18 Hoang Quoc Viet, Nghia Do Ward, Cau Giay District, Hanoi.

The program is organized by Tien Phong newspaper with the direction and coordination of the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Student Association, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training, the University of Science and Technology of Hanoi (USTH)...
