WHO CANNOT "HOLD THE HANDS AND SHOW THE WORK" TO THE LEARNERS?
Sharing about the impact of AI on colleges, where vocational training is focused on practice time, Master Nguyen Quoc Van, Head of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Cao Thang Technical College, said: "AI can answer all questions, design lessons suitable for each individual, and create virtual reality simulations in technical teaching. However, in the midst of that technology storm, AI still lacks an element that cannot replace humans. That is the emotion, the sublimation in the lecture, the enthusiasm and dedication of the teacher in the process of imparting knowledge, training skills and educating the right attitude towards learners."
But Master Huynh Xuan Dung, Deputy Head of the Faculty of Electrical and Electronics, believes that the role of lecturers will have to change, from imparting knowledge to being guides, training practical skills and thinking, training critical thinking, creativity and professional ethics for students.

"In the technical field, to effectively exploit AI, learners need a solid foundation of knowledge and skills, along with deep expertise - things that can only be achieved through direct guidance from a teacher. Moreover, training professional skills, creative thinking and professional ethics requires direct observation, training and interaction - things that AI cannot do," said Mr. Dung.
Taking the example of the automotive industry, Master Vo Ba Khanh Trinh, Deputy Head of the Faculty of Dynamic Mechanics, commented that AI can explain the operating principles of electric cars and hybrid cars, propose procedures for checking the ABS braking system or suggest ways to handle error codes, but cannot hear unusual knocking sounds from the engine, cannot feel slight vibrations from the gearbox, cannot demonstrate each bolt tightening movement, and cannot look into students' eyes to know whether they are confused or confident.
"More importantly, AI cannot inspire, motivate, teach students to work responsibly, adhere to professional ethics and ensure occupational safety. Human values, empathy and life lessons from teachers are things that no algorithm can replace," Mr. Trinh shared.
INVESTING IN TECHNOLOGY, INNOVATING METHODS
It is known that in recent times, Cao Thang Technical College has equipped robot systems with integrated AI computers, smart IoT systems, machine learning internship systems, invested in upgrading practice workshops, experimental simulation systems, electronic diagnostic machines, car electrical and electronic models, technology-integrated classrooms... Therefore, students can "touch technology", learn through practical experience, instead of just listening to lectures.
In addition, the school implements project-based teaching methods, simulating real-life situations, "teacher guides - students experience", encouraging students to conduct their own research with the support of AI tools, and be creative through projects related to real-life needs.
Dr. Le Dinh Kha, Principal of Cao Thang Technical College, said that the school does not see AI as a threat, but as a companion in the digital age. "At the school, lecturers are both inspirations and guides for students to practice and apply AI in their studies and to develop professional skills," Dr. Kha said.
