The Sixth Mechanical Engineering Skills Competition – 2025: Sharpening Skills – Strengthening Expertise – Winning Employers’ Confidence

For six consecutive years, the competition has been a flagship activity aimed at enhancing professional skills, enabling students to experience real-world engineering tasks, and equipping them to meet industry demands. It is also the only mechanical engineering skills competition organized by a university-level training institution in Hue and the Central Highlands – Central Vietnam region.

 

 

 

 
In his remarks at the competition, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Do Minh Cuong – Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Program Director of Mechanical Engineering Technology, and Head of the Organizing Committee – emphasized: “Graduates of the program have successfully met the requirements for positions such as design engineers, CNC operation and machining engineers, and maintenance engineers at many factories and corporations in the region. Therefore, developing professional skills is an essential requirement for students to confidently win employers’ trust.”
 

 
Also speaking at the event, Dr. Pham Viet Hung – Vice Dean of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Technology – reaffirmed the Faculty’s commitment to the principle of ‘linking theory with production practice’, and to training aligned with core engineering disciplines and key technologies, meeting the Government’s strategy for developing high-quality human resources.
 

 
This year’s competition brought together 32 teams, with participation from students across all cohorts. It provided first-year students with early exposure to hands-on practice, as well as opportunities to exchange experiences and learn from senior students.
 
Winning the First Prize, Team 29, represented by student Lai Van Quy (Mechanical Engineering Technology, Class 59A), shared: “Participating in the competition from our very first semester has helped us gain a clearer understanding of the profession and receive valuable support and guidance from senior students for our future studies.”
 
The successful conclusion of the competition once again affirmed the quality of practical training offered by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Technology. In early 2026, the Faculty plans to organize an Interdisciplinary Football Tournament between Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics, promising to continue providing beneficial extracurricular activities for students.
