THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING & COMPUTER SCIENCE

VinUniversity offers competitive international salaries, a world-class infrastructure, a dedicated international senior management and academic team, excellent benefits, and support for junior and mid-career faculty with a diverse range of exciting, cross-disciplinary research projects.

Through excellence in academics, research, and innovation, the College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS) aims to create a generation of young leaders with the qualities, skills, and knowledge needed to lead the development of science and technology, to increase productivity, and bring about radical innovations for the benefit of society.

With a curriculum certified by VinUniversity’s founding partner Cornell University, advanced infrastructure, and modern pedagogical approaches, CECS offers Bachelor of Science degree programs in four majors: Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, and Data Science. In addition, CECS starts a PhD program in Computer Science in the fall semester of the academic year 2021-2022.

All faculty members are provided with an annual personal development fund for scholarly activities such as attending conferences, hiring research assistants, and buying research equipment. Faculty members can also apply for internal seed grants and have numerous opportunities to collaborate with researchers and engineers from the Vingroup ecosystem, such as VinIT, VinMotion, VinRobotics, Vinmec, Vinhomes, Vincom Retail, Vinpearl and VinFast. These connections are an excellent source of large, real-world data sets as well as applied problems.

Research at CECS is being built on international collaborations and is geared towards addressing three main global challenges in a local context, in the areas of health, energy, and artificial intelligence. The Smart Health Center is a large $13.5M project in partnership with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign that focuses on the challenges and opportunities in modern healthcare systems, including big data analytics, medical image processing, 3D printing for biomedical, security, privacy protection, and others. The Center for Environmental Intelligence (CEI) focuses on data-driven environmental sensing, AI-enabled modeling, and intelligent systems to improve air quality, energy efficiency, and sustainable living, with real-world deployments in hospitals, classrooms, and smart buildings. We plan to develop similar well-funded, international, large research hubs in the near future.
