On April 17, 2024, a delegation from Gowin Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Gowin Semiconductor") visited the Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU) in Vietnam for an in-depth interview and exchange.
The delegation included Liang Yuefeng, University Program Manager, Ye Wei Ming, Senior Engineer of the Asia-Pacific region, and Nguyen Trong Van, Sales Manager for the Vietnam region. During the exchange meeting, Mr. Nguyen Trong Van provided a detailed introduction to the development history, product applications, and the latest status of the 22-nanometer products, along with the future roadmap of Gowin Semiconductor. Mr. Liang Yuefeng shared the company's university cooperation plans and visions. The meeting was also attended by Dr. Tran Thanh Phuong, Dean of the Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Ton Duc Thang University, and Dr. Nguyen Huu Khanh Nhan, Vice Dean, also attended the meeting. They introduced the teaching structure, curriculum development, and the recognition the faculty has received from the government and society for its teaching quality. Dean Dr. Phuong emphasized that the faculty has established cooperative relationships with several well-known enterprises and that the employment rate for graduates in Vietnam's electronics industry is nearly 100%. In light of the rapid development of the electronics industry in Vietnam, the faculty expressed a desire to introduce the latest content in electronic engineering education, especially courses related to chip design. Vice Dean Dr. Nhan expressed his hope for Gowin Semiconductor to provide an educational platform and content to enhance students' practical abilities and innovative thinking. Manager Liang Yuefeng pointed out during the discussion that while curriculum education is fundamental, enhancing students' engineering practical abilities is even more critical. He mentioned that China and Vietnam face similar challenges in the field of electronic information education, including compressed curriculum time and limited experimental time. He suggested that electronic design competitions could effectively improve students' engineering capabilities and proposed a concept of starting with intra-school competitions, expanding to inter-school exchanges, and eventually forming a systematic large-scale event. After the exchange, students actively asked questions about market salaries and the development of the industry in China and Vietnam.
At the end of the meeting, gifts were exchanged between the two parties, and a consensus was reached to continue deepening cooperation and exchange, with a special mention of adapting Gowin FPGA to the curriculum of the Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering to promote students' practical operation and innovation capabilities. This exchange marks an important step in the cooperation between the two parties in the field of electronic engineering education, indicating more opportunities for cooperation in talent cultivation and technological innovation in the future.
