Bringing new technologies into the classroom.
In early 2026, the University of Technical Education (Da Nang University) will receive the Advanced Automation and Drive Laboratory, sponsored by Siemens Vietnam Co., Ltd. and Bien Dong Electrical Automation Technology Co., Ltd.
The Advanced Automation and Drive Laboratory, located in Electrical Workshop 2, Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, is equipped with modern industrial control and communication systems with a total investment of over 3 billion VND. This is one of the largest automation laboratories in terms of investment, integrating many advanced technological solutions, directly serving teaching and practical sessions for courses such as logic control experiments, SCADA industrial communication networks, etc.
Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Le Hung, Rector of the University of Technical Education, expressed that cooperation with businesses plays a crucial role in improving training effectiveness, enhancing learning conditions, and creating opportunities for students to access advanced technologies.
Simultaneously, it effectively supports teaching and learning activities, promoting innovation in training methods towards application and practical relevance. This demonstrates the school's determination to continue expanding cooperation and training high-quality human resources to meet the requirements of businesses and society.
At the University of Technology (Da Nang University), Siemens Vietnam and ESTEC have recently supported the university with an Industry 4.0 laboratory to facilitate research on industrial IoT, industrial communication, and SCADA.
ABB Robotics Vietnam is sponsoring a robotics station and RobotStudio software worth VND 16 billion, including licenses for 1 server and 100 workstations, as well as supporting expert training, scholarships, and internship opportunities for students.
KUKA Robotics Vietnam has also collaborated with the university to inaugurate a Training, Research, and Development Center for industrial robotics and artificial intelligence applications located on the university campus in March 2026...

Promoting innovation
Associate Professor Dr. Le Tien Dung, Vice Rector of the University of Technology, stated that the value of laboratories, research institutes, or practical training centers lies not only in the modern equipment invested in, but more importantly in how they are integrated into the training, research, and innovation processes.
The school believes that a lab is only truly valuable when it becomes a space for learning, practicing, researching, engaging in innovative activities, and solving practical problems for faculty and students.
By integrating laboratories with practical training and research, many innovative ideas from faculty and students have been realized into projects, products, and technological solutions.
At the recent Science, Technology, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation Festival, the University of Technology showcased 469 annual scientific research projects, 19 potential projects, and 128 technological products, models, and solutions from 14 specialized faculties. Many projects went beyond academic ideas and developed into experimental models, scientific publications, applied products, and initial connections with businesses.
Similarly, in recent times, the University of Education (Da Nang University) has also identified that investing in laboratories, experimental areas, pilot systems, Co-Labs, and innovation spaces is not only for teaching purposes, but also to build a learning environment linked to professional practice and applied research.
Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Van Hieu, Vice Rector of the university, said that thanks to the comprehensive investment in modern systems, students and lecturers have the opportunity to directly participate in practical exercises, research, and project implementation using equipment and processes that closely resemble real-world working environments. Through this, learners gradually develop professional competence, technological skills, innovative thinking, and problem-solving abilities while still in university.
Laboratories and research groups have also become important platforms for promoting the school's scientific activities and innovation. Specifically for the 2025-2026 academic year, there will be 266 student research projects; and more than 80 projects participating in the 2026 Student Innovation Competition.
Also during the 2025-2026 academic year, the school signed and implemented 12 new NAFOSTED projects, 9 provincial-level projects, 10 projects at the Ministry and Da Nang University level, 4 international projects, along with many research tasks commissioned by businesses and localities.
Many research results have been published internationally, and further development is underway, focusing on application, technology transfer to organizations, and startups.
"We see this as an important direction to connect training with research and the development needs of society, thereby contributing to the training of high-quality human resources who are adaptable and work effectively immediately after graduation," said Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Van Hieu.
