From November 20, 2023, to November 26, 2023, students from the Becamex Business School, School of Engineering, and School of Computing and Information Technology at EIU had the opportunity to visit, experience, and gain valuable knowledge through a field trip to various businesses, organizations, and educational institutions in Singapore.

This program is designed to provide students with the chance to expand their knowledge and understand the differences between theory and practical experience. During the trip, students visited and learned from various reputable businesses, organizations, and educational institutions such as Makino Singapore Pte Ltd, Addicon Logistics Management, Omron Automation Center, Singapore Indian Development Association, Nanyang Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic, Block 71 – NUS, and more.

At each business, students observed different management and operational models, gaining insights into the working environments of various companies and organizations. This allowed them to understand international work and study environments, meet market requirements, and enhance their knowledge and experience, contributing to their personal and professional development.

Additionally, according to the schedule, students also explored famous landmarks such as Marina Bay Sands, Esplanade Theatre, Garden by the Bay, etc., to exchange ideas and learn about the society, cuisine, and cultural diversity between nations.

Following the program, students will have reflections and presentations on their experiences and the knowledge acquired during their field trip.

On August 9, 2023, the School of Engineering at EIU organized a seminar with the theme “Collaborative robot – Application and Research Potentials/Robot”.

Collaborative robots (Cobots) have been receiving significant attention from manufacturing companies and researchers due to their application potentials and research areas aimed at optimizing their operational features. Cobots are truly changing the way humans work and interact with machines, creating a delicate combination of automation and human skills.

At the event, the speaker, Dr. H�Thanh Tâm, Research Manager at Neuromeka Vietnam, shared knowledge and experience related to the research and development of Cobots. The speaker also highlighted practical applications of Cobots in various fields such as manufacturing, healthcare, and especially its market trends. Additionally, the speaker and guests discussed areas of ongoing research potential related to Cobots, from developing new technologies to applying them to address complex challenges in society and industry.
