Staffs of Division of Aerospace Engineering

Recognizing the important role of aviation in the development of the country, the engineering program for Aviation engineering was launched at Hanoi University of Science and Technology in 1996. The first graduating class of aviation engineering was in 1999. The history was also marked in 1999 with the first enrollment of Excellent Engineers Training Programs in Vietnam (PFIEV). This was a cooperation project between the French Government and the Vietnamese Government, in which the program of Aviation Engineering was operated at two Universities (Hanoi University of Science & Technology and the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology). The diploma of Excellent Engineers Training Programs was recognized by the Degree Committee of France and by the French Government as the equivalent qualification for engineers.

The launch of training programs is associated with the development stages of the Division of Aerospace Engineering. The name of the Division has also changed over the period.

  • In 1996 – 1998: Department of Fluid Power and Automation
  • In 1998 – 2003: Department of Fluid Mechanics and Aeronautic Engineering (joined from the Department of Fluid Mechanics Engineering and the Department of Fluid Power and Automatic). This period is also marked by the launch of the Excellent Engineers Training Programs (PFIEV) for Aeronautical Engineering.
  • In 2003 – 2009: Department of Aeronautical Engineering and Fluid Power & Automation
  • 04/2009: Establishment of the Department of Aerospace Engineering.
  • Since 2022, The Division of Aerospace Engineering is in the Faculty of Vehicle and Energy Conversion, School of Mechanical Engineering, Hanoi University of Science and Technology.

Since its establishment, although still very young, the Department of Aerospace Engineering has recorded very encouraging achievements in both training, scientific research, and international cooperation. Up to 2022, there were 24 graduating classes of standard aeronautical engineering programs and 19 classes of excellent engineering programs, that play an important role in human resources for Vietnam Aviation (about 60% of graduated students working in the field of Aviation). In addition, approximately 10% of the graduates received scholarships for further education of masters and Ph.D. abroad. The Department has developed a complete training program that includes engineer, master’s, and Ph.D. degrees in aeronautical engineering. Regarding scientific research, the Department has managed and successfully organized many scientific research projects at different levels (international projects, government-funded projects, industrial cooperation projects…). The research program proposed by the Department, named “Research, design, fabrication of smart flight vehicle (UAV)”, initially achieves certain success. Regarding international cooperation, the Department has developed close relationships with many domestic and foreign organizations and enterprises such as Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet Air, VAECO, AESC, Safran (France), MHI (Japan), ENSMA (France), University of Nagoya (Japan), University of ITB (Indonesia).

The Aerospace Engineering Division currently has 10 staff members, including 2 associate professors, and 8 doctorates.

The AE Division oversees the development and implementation of training programs in the field of Aerospace Engineering, including:

  • Talented Aerospace Engineering Program (PFIEV)
  • Aviation Engineering Program.

Head of Division: Assoc. Prof. Dr. VU Dinh Quy
