VINFAST EV WORKSHOP: AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING STUDENTS GET HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE

As part of the awareness internship program, students from the Automotive Engineering Department at Thanh Do University had a unique opportunity to directly explore, learn, and practice on VinFast electric vehicles – a pioneering brand in Vietnam’s green energy transition.

Keeping Pace with Electric Vehicles – Learning from Cutting-Edge Technology
At a state-of-the-art workshop, students not only observed but also directly handled key components of electric vehicles, including the electric motor, lithium-ion battery, central controller, charging system, and safety sensors. Under the careful guidance of lecturers and technicians, they learned maintenance procedures, checked the electric drive system, and explored the operational mechanisms that distinguish electric vehicles from traditional internal combustion engine cars.

Hands-On Learning – Adapting to Technology Trends
Direct exposure to VinFast electric vehicles allowed students to enhance their understanding of emerging technologies and improve adaptability to market trends in the digital and sustainable development era. This experience equips them with a competitive advantage, as automakers in Vietnam and abroad increasingly seek professionals skilled in electric vehicle technology and complex electronic systems.

Connecting Academia and Industry – A Sustainable Learning Model

The awareness internship not only helps students clarify their career paths but also reflects Thanh Do University’s “learning by doing” philosophy. Moving forward, the university will continue to strengthen partnerships with domestic and international automakers, providing students with more opportunities to learn in real-world settings, access advanced equipment, and enhance professional skills.

Towards a Green Future – Building Sustainable Human Resources
Internship modules raise students’ awareness of sustainable development trends, encourage the adoption of clean energy vehicles, and contribute to environmental protection and climate action. Students in the Automotive Engineering program at Thanh Do University are poised to become key contributors to the future transformation of the transportation sector.

With a clear practice-oriented training approach and high-quality internship environments, Thanh Do University equips students not only with knowledge but also with skills, hands-on experience, and professional preparation to become “green human resources” capable of keeping up with technological trends. The university continually provides students with access to professional work environments from early semesters, making each internship a valuable opportunity to apply knowledge, develop skills, challenge themselves, and refine their specialization before advancing to the next academic year.
