Nguyen Van Minh Nhan, a student of class 17ECE - Faculty of Advanced Science and Technology was honored to be selected to participate in the Sakura Science exchange program, organized by Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and conducted by The Univerisity of Electro -Communications. The show takes place from October 27 to November 2, 2019 in Japan.

Previously, in September, professors from Japan National University of Yokohama and the representative office of Yokohama in Da Nang coordinated to organize a 1-week intensive course at DUT.  FAST Students have been studying by the method of theory combined with experiment on Robot. Besides, the students also have access to the content of mechanical tools and thermodynamics. The classroom format is not only teaching theory but also combining on-site practice, which has brought many new and interesting things to students. Students who actively participate in the course at Polytechnic University will have the opportunity to be selected to participate in the Sakura Science program at Yokohama University, Japan and be supported with the entire cost of the trip. With a good academic spirit as well as certain contributions to the success of the course in 2018, Nguyen Van Minh Nhan was selected and recommended by the leadership of the Faculty of Advanced Science and Technology to participate in the Sakura Science program in October this year.
