The university and its partners also inaugurated a laboratory to support practical training and university-industry collaboration.
Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Engineering signed an agreement on 15 October with Beijer Electronics and its distributor, Air Vacuum Automation Vietnam Company Limited, covering industrial automation training, research and student projects.
The three partners also opened the Beijer Electronics Lab at the university, known as HCM-UTE, to support practical instruction and collaboration with industry. Beijer Electronics held a seminar for students and faculty covering its technologies and products, alongside developments in automation and smart manufacturing.
The cooperation is intended to connect the university's electrical engineering, electronics and automation programmes with Beijer Electronics' industrial expertise. Planned activities include workshops, joint research and contact with industry to introduce students to technologies used in manufacturing.
Beijer Electronics said the arrangement may also lead to internships and student exchanges. Ali Rezaei, the company's Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing, said students needed experience of industrial challenges as well as technology.
Associate Professor Le My Ha, Dean of HCM-UTE's Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, said the cooperation could give students and faculty opportunities for collaborative research and practical learning.
