Infrastructure

CLASSROOM SYSTEM

The Lecture hall system is built to meet the requirements of facilities for the Advanced Program according to the project promulgated by the government in 2008 with a total area of 381 m2 including 5 classrooms and 02 halls. These lecture halls meet the requirements of teaching and research, and the activities of small-scale clubs. In 2010, the lecture halls were equipped with a high-speed wireless network system covering the entire campus of CTTT, enhancing the capacity of facilities for teaching. In addition, advanced program can use the large halls of DUT, with a capacity of up to 500 seats to serve the needs of organizing seminars of lecturers or cultural activities of students. In addition, in order to meet the needs of students for self-study and research, from 2015, the advanced program also arranged a self-study room right next to the internal library, creating a self-study and group discussion environment for students.

Over the years, the lecture system of the advanced program has been increased in number to meet the increasing number of students over time. Especially in 2014, a multimedia classroom support online learning was built. The goal of building this classroom is to help optimize teaching time, so that teachers can focus more on teaching and research. For students, this solution will provide access to the teaching system and distance learning content from anywhere, at any time of the day.

DISTANCE LEARNING STUDIO

Completed and put into use in 2015, the DLS digital classroom with modern facilities and stable network infrastructure, fully meets international standards to serve seminars and online meetings. In addition, the digital classroom is also an ideal space for group teaching and learning.

Self-study area

After studying in the lecture hall, the self-study area is a great space for students to gather in groups to discuss present problems and find solutions together.

Coming to the campus of the Faculty of Advanced Science and Technology, students have many self-study areas with quiet space, very suitable for studying and pondering.

ENTERTAINMENT AND COLLECTIVE ACTIVITY SPACES

LIBRARY

Currently, the Faculty of Advanced Science and Technology has its own internal library with rich learning resources: 100% complete textbooks and reference books; the library is equipped with air conditioning, internet, 1 photocopier, 1 computer to look up data and 1 library staff; a self-study room with a full table and chairs adjacent to the library. The self-study room is open 8 hours a day from Monday to Friday. The library serves students to borrow books from Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday every week.

In addition, students and lecturers of the Faculty of Advanced Science and Technology can also use a rich source of learning materials from 2 learning resource centers of the University of Danang, one of which is located in the center of Da Nang. campus of Bach Khoa University. The campus at the University of Technology has 4 floors with 1000 seats, 250 search computers, 130 newspapers and magazines, 3800 theses, doctoral theses, 1300 references, 51,000 monographs, 47,000 documents hardcopy textbooks in many different languages and 947 separate reference books for students. The Learning Resource Center also has electronic resources with a system of open document repositories and electronic databases such as: Proquest Central, Hinari, Agora, Ardi, scientific database of the National Bureau of Science and Technology Information, database of the World Bank. Students and lecturers can come to the Center to look up documents from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. every day of the week, except Sunday.

In order to build up a complete resource like today, following the training program, the Faculty of Science and Technology Advanced has continuously upgraded and updated its internal library every year from various sources: books purchased from the program's budget ; international scientific journals, proceedings of the student conference on scientific research, TI Contest, books donated by agencies and organizations, and textbooks provided by lecturers. The number of textbooks for study and reference at the private library is updated annually from 60% of textbooks for the 2007 training program to 95% of textbooks, 80% of reference books in 2008, and 100% of textbooks in 2014. In 2015, the advanced program initially researched and developed a barcode system to better and more effectively manage the borrowing and returning of books by students and lecturers.
