The DTU and IOIT delegations at the meeting
Since its inception, DTU has focused on enhancing the quality of teaching methods closely interlinked with practical work, which have gradually become the key objectives in its development. DTU is committed to offer advanced programs to guarantee students access to high -quality international education. Since 2008, DTU has collaborated with Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), one of the four leading American universities in Information Technology, to license their software engineering and information systems curricula. As a result of this agreement, almost one hundred DTU IT staff have attended the annual train-the-trainer sessions at CMU, every summer for the past five years. One-hundred percent of the very first CMU graduates found good jobs right after leaving university and DTU is widely known as a prestigious, community-oriented, private university.
DTU has invested in founding three centers for IT education and research. These are the CSE (Center of Software Engineering), the CIT (Center of Information Technology) and CEE (Center of Electricity and Electronics). These centers are in charge of designing solutions, managing IT infrastructure, developing and implementing IT applications to enhance education and management at DTU.
Associate Pro Dr Thai Quang Vinh highly appreciated DTU’s investments in education and research and the implementation of new IT applications, as well as the contributions that DTU made to the development of IT in Danang.
Both parties discussed a potential partnership in educational and technology transfer projects, in which IOIT will collaborate with DTU in designing Master’s and PhD programs, providing training courses, exchanging lecturers and organizing scientific conferences. Associate Professor Dr Thai Quang Vinh said: “The IOIT will summarize the research results and experiences from previous scientific conferences and cooperate with DTU to provide students cohesive programs in the future.”
The Institute of Information and Technology is the national leading center for research and development in Information Technology. It is also the leading institute for PhD programs in Computer Science in Vietnam. Presently, the Institute has 200 staff members, including 50 Dr.Sc. and Ph.D, 20 out of them are Prof. and Assoc.Prof; working in different research departments on informatics, mathematical aspects of informatics, automation and socio-economic management systems.
