The Master of Engineering (Electronic and Computer Engineering) program has brought me many benefits. It is the first time that I have had the chance to study in an international professional learning environment that enhances my skills in presentation and research. In addition, I have always felt very comfortable and motivated at RMIT Vietnam thanks to the high-standard technical equipment in the laboratories, as well as the modern sports centre and the professional library. Moreover, as my future plan is to become a university lecturer, the program has given me profound electrical and computer engineering knowledge to become successful in my future career.
There are many wonderful things about this master program, especially the laboratory. Here we can experiment with real electronic boards, state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. The practical experience is very valuable because we cannot find that in any books or materials. In addition to the expert knowledge in the field of electronics and computers, the program also equips us with important skills such as problem solving, teamwork and critical analysis. All of the knowledge and skills acquired from this program are essential to our work in the future. Bui Thi Thanh Thanh (Master of Engineering student 2012)
The Master of Engineering program is an important contributor to our workforce development strategy. As our technologies get more complex, the Intel factory will need engineers with greater technical knowledge and depth. The RMIT Master program gives us access to international quality engineering education here in Vietnam. The students in the program are among the brightest, and preordained to be the core technical human resources, not just for Intel Vietnam but also for the high-tech industry of Vietnam in general.
