At the signing ceremony, Prof Niaz Latif, Dean of the Purdue University Northwest College of Technology (on behalf of the President of Purdue University), and Dr. Le Nguyen Bao, DTU Vice - Provost, pledged mutual cooperation.
Mechatronics is a new major of the DTU Faculty of Electrical Engineering. The major is opened to train quality human resources urgently needed for the Industrial Revolution 4.0. A new but crucial major, it is part of the advanced programs at DTU and receives heavy investment in infrastructure and program transfer training from one of the ten leading technical universities in the US - Purdue University.
Aimed at educating leading mechatronic engineers that meet the work and production requirements at domestic and foreign factories, enterprises, research divisions, and so on in the Industry 4.0 trend, the Signing Ceremony for collaboration between DTU and Purdue University on the two advanced majors in Electrical Engineering and in Mechatronics officially took place on June 16 in the ceremonial hall of Purdue University in the US.
The signing ceremony took place solemnly, and the two sides exchanged bilingual English and Vietnamese signed contracts, pledging close collaboration in training technology transfer, full curricular support, training materials, and training of DTU’s key lecturers in Electrical Engineering and in Mechatronics for four consecutive years.
Sixteen staff members and lecturers of the DTU Faculty of Electrical Engineering and of the DTU Center of Electrical Engineering received a guided tour from Purdue University representatives around the institution’s procedures, facilities, and so on before starting the training program. The DTU delegation will start by taking part in a training program at the Purdue University College of Technology.

With the special focus on Industry 4.0 of the program and with the facilities, training program, and equipment that optimally support the teachers and learners at Purdue, the DTU lecturers will have the chance to firmly grasp the methods they are to learn and to improve their practical knowledge and skills. These are the prerequisites to improve student education at DTU.

“Continuing to extend its partnerships with big universities in many countries worldwide, DTU is striving, little by little, to find the most suitable and advanced training programs for its students at home,” DTU Vice Provost Dr. Le Nguyen Bao said, “and at the same time to give DTU students big opportunities to study at prestigious universities worldwide - and more specifically in the US.”
Students of this program at DTU will study with the Purdue University syllabus and programs in Electrical Engineering and of Mechatronics. In addition, two or three Purdue University lecturers will come over to DTU for teaching each term. Almost all of Purdue University’s training programs are accredited by ABET. Students will train in practice workshops designed in accordance with the standards of Purdue University.
