Vietnam university integrates UAV, AI, IoT research into student curriculum

Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU) is actively integrating cutting-edge technology research into its undergraduate curriculum, particularly within the Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. The university's faculty, many trained at prestigious international institutions, lead research in vital areas including next-generation telecommunications (5G, 6G), the Internet of Things (IoT), microchip design, embedded systems, digital signal processing, artificial intelligence (AI), and cybersecurity.

These research efforts are not confined to faculty; students are encouraged to participate from their early academic years. TDTU supports students in transforming their technological ideas into tangible products and models. Notable student projects include an IoT-based smart home system for remote device control, an AI application for detecting abnormalities in X-ray images, and autonomous robots and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) designed for logistics, industrial manufacturing, and smart agriculture.

The university's commitment to practical application is evident in student achievements. Teams have secured top prizes in national and international science and technology competitions. A significant victory was the championship at the UAV Cup PV GAS 2025, showcasing students' proficiency in researching, designing, and implementing drone technology. Many student-developed products have moved beyond the laboratory, participating in innovation contests and startup programs, attracting attention from businesses and offering students pathways to market their innovations.
