The visit and working session by the SJSU representatives mark a significant step in establishing research and training cooperation programs between the two institutions. This contributes to enhancing the capabilities of PTIT’s faculty and researchers and opens future opportunities for high-quality human resource training at both universities. The meeting also provides a chance to build a network with leading enterprises and experts in Silicon Valley, laying a solid foundation for long-term, sustainable collaboration.
Previously, on May 19, 2025, at the Hanoi campus, the Faculty of Electronics Engineering 1 of PTIT and the Department of Electrical Engineering at San José State University (EE-SJSU, USA) officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This agreement aims to implement internship and short-term training programs, creating a foundation for the Faculty of Electronics Engineering 1 to access advanced resources and technologies from the US, while also helping to enhance the quality of training and scientific research for both parties in the next phase.
