On the basis of equipment sponsored by MEVN, the university has completed the Electrical Workshop project, where the students are able to practice the knowledge learnt in the classroom and build practical models/solutions. This ideal learning environment also contributes to improving the training contents, enhancing the applicability of the lessons by instructing students how to design and install capacitor panels, operating mechanisms, controlling the system programming with the latest equipment from Japan, etc. As a result, the future bachelors will be equipped with a solid knowledge base that increases job opportunities and satisfies the requirements of the industry.

Visiting the Electrical Workshop at the end of the ceremony, Mr. Kiyotake Kitamura complimented the school on the set-up and installation of low-voltage power distribution equipment and expressed the belief that the Faculty of Electrical Engineering will effectively utilize the sponsored materials, as well as introducing MEVN products to a large number of students in the faculty and the whole school.

This is yet another milestone marking the achievement of MEVN in creating an advanced, modern learning environment with the desire to motivate the students in particular and the young generation of Vietnam in general to practice and develop themselves, at the same time contributing to promoting the industrialization – modernization model in Vietnam.
