Vinschool students explore engineering disciplines through a study tour at Ton Duc Thang University
On November 2 and 3, 2026, the Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU), welcomed students from Vinschool for a two-day study tour. The program provided an opportunity for students to become familiar with the university learning environment, explore various fields of engineering through hands-on activities, and gain practical insights into potential career paths before making decisions about their future studies.
On the first day, students began their exploration of Electrical Engineering by learning about solar power systems, assembling electrical circuits, measuring current and voltage in direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) circuits, and practicing ON/OFF control and motor direction reversal. Through hands-on activities with equipment and demonstration models, they gradually discovered how engineering principles are applied in real-world settings. In the afternoon, the exploration continued with activities introducing Control and Automation Engineering and Mechatronics Engineering. In particular, assembling and operating a soccer-playing robotic vehicle gave students the opportunity to put their skills to the test, work together, and apply what they had learned. The enthusiastic guidance of lecturers, together with the support and friendly engagement of university students, helped create an open and welcoming learning environment that encouraged participants to explore and gain hands-on experience with confidence.
On the second day, the program expanded to cover Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering and the Semiconductor Integrated Circuit specialization. During the IoT experience, students were introduced to the E-Ra platform integrated with the ESP32 microcontroller and explored the process of programming and controlling smart devices. Through professional insights and practical guidance, they gained a better understanding of how connected technologies are applied in everyday life. In the afternoon, students continued learning about semiconductor integrated circuits, gaining further insight into the technological foundations behind modern electronic devices. Beyond introducing specialized knowledge, discussions with lecturers and university students also provided opportunities to learn more about academic disciplines, research activities, and potential career development pathways.
Throughout the two-day study tour, Vinschool students not only visited the Faculty's laboratories but also took part in a variety of hands-on activities, exploring everything from electrical circuits and drive systems to robotics, IoT applications, and semiconductor integrated circuits. The interaction among lecturers, university students, and visiting students fostered a friendly and engaging learning environment, allowing participants to approach specialized knowledge through practical experiences. These activities also helped spark their interest in science and technology while broadening their perspectives on future career opportunities. The Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Ton Duc Thang University, hopes to continue accompanying students on their journey of discovery, learning, and career exploration.
