About the department

INTRODUCTION

The Department of Electronics, under the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST), is a third-level academic unit. The department was established on November 18, 2021, by decision of the Rector of HUST, as part of the university's strategic transition to a university model aligned with the new Education Law.

The Department of Electronics is responsible for the academic management of four specialized programs:

• Smart Embedded Systems and IoT (ET-E9)

• Talented Program in Electronics and Telecommunications (ET-TN)

• Biomedical Engineering (ET2)

• Advanced Program in Biomedical Engineering (ET-E5)

In addition, the department oversees specialized modules in the Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering Program (ET1), including Electronic Engineering, Embedded Computer Engineering, IC Design, and Biomedical Engineering. It also manages 11 academic groups focusing on Computer Engineering, Circuit and Signal Processing, Electronic Technology, and Biomedical Engineering.

The department’s educational philosophy is aligned with that of the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and HUST: "Learner-centered education with strong emphasis on practical training and hands-on experience, guided by modern engineering and technology trends, to develop research and professional skills that meet the demands of industry."

HISTORY

The Department of Electronics originated from three departments: Electronics and Computer Engineering, Circuit and Signal Processing, and Electronic Technology and Biomedical Engineering. These departments were initially part of the Faculty of Radio Engineering, which was established with the founding of HUST in 1956. On November 18, 2021, the three departments merged to form the current Department of Electronics, consisting of 35 teaching staff and one department assistant.

The predecessor of the Circuit and Signal Processing Group was the Department of Radio Engineering Foundations, established in 1957 by the late Professor Bùi Minh Tiêu. At that time, the department had three main academic groups: Circuit Theory, Digital Engineering, and Measurement Engineering. It included 14 lecturers and 5 lab technicians, none of whom held a PhD or professorial title at the time. The department operated two laboratories: Circuit and Signal Processing, and Measurement and Communication.

Courses offered included:

• Undergraduate foundation courses: Circuit Theory, Digital Signal Processing, Signals and Systems, Measurements, Communication Basics

• Project-based courses: Project 1, 2, 3; Final Year Project; Electronics

• Graduate-level courses: Space-Time Signal Processing, Ultra-Wideband Communications, Digital Image Processing, Multimedia Communications, Subband Filtering and Coding, Channel Coding, Broadband Relay Networks and Applications, System Modeling and Simulation, and Radio Optimization for Next-Generation Mobile Networks.
