Memorial is strengthening its research and academic connections with Southeast Asia through a new post-secondary partnership.

A memorandum of understanding (MOU) has been signed with PetroVietnam University (PVU). PVU was formed in 2010 to carry out research and development and training for PetroVietnam, the country’s state oil company. The MOU is for five years.

According to the MOU, both institutions are seeking ways to develop and carry out collaborative activities.The activities include exchange of faculty members; undergraduate and graduate student mobility and exchange; exchange of publications, research materials, newsletters, etc; joint projects related to research, teaching and faculty development; and development of joint initiatives with partner institutions.

More engagement

On Wednesday, Nov. 8, Dr. Neil Bose, vice-president (research), welcomed a delegation from Vietnam to the St. John’s campus, where he signed an agreement of co-operation between Memorial and PVU.

“PetroVietnam University is interested in expanding its engagement with Memorial University.”— Dr. Neil Bose

The purpose of the agreement is to facilitate and promote co-operation between both institutions, with each providing graduate training and funding to support qualified students as they pursue their graduate studies at Memorial.

“PetroVietnam University, located in Ba Ria City in the south of Vietnam, east of Ho Chi Minh City, is interested in expanding its engagement with Memorial University, especially to send more graduate students to Newfoundland and Labrador, and to discuss potential joint courses and research projects,” said Dr. Bose.

“Vietnamese universities have been expanding their engagement with Memorial. Last year, several Marine Institute staff attended the International Association of Maritime Universities annual general assembly, which was hosted by Vietnam Maritime University in Haiphong in the north of Vietnam.”

The agreement of co-operation notes that Memorial will provide an annual fellowship — $7,000 for master’s of engineering and $9,000 for doctor of philosophy — for sponsored students entering full-time studies in a graduate degree program at Memorial.

On-campus visit

During their visit, the delegates saw some of Memorial’s world-class research equipment while learning about the university’s diverse teaching and learning opportunities.

They met with Dr. Lesley James, associate professor and Chevron Chair in Petroleum Engineering and acting head, Department of Process Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, visiting her Enhanced Oil Recovery Laboratory in the Bruneau Centre for Research and Innovation.

They also met with Meghan Gamsby, head, Public Services, with the Queen Elizabeth II Library to discuss a library database access exchange, and Dr. Dennis Peters, acting dean, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, to discuss Memorial’s engineering program and future collaborations.

Memorial’s Vietnamese graduate students greeted the delegation and hosted them on a tour of the City of St. John’s.

Enhancing internationalization

Memorial’s Strategic Internationalization Plan 2020 sets the stage for a wide range of ambitious international and intercultural initiatives.

The purpose of the plan is to strengthen the university’s internationalization efforts for a wide range of ambitious international and intercultural initiatives.

The university’s Strategic Research Intensity Plan 2014-20 reflects a synergistic and integrated approach for strengthening all aspects of research at Memorial, including scholarship and creative activities, as well as the translation of knowledge into products, practices and policies, and other forms of community engagement.

Vietnamese partnership

Memorial already has connections to Vietnam through a partnership with the Vietnam International Education Development (VIED), under Vietnam’s Ministry of Education and Training.

That agreement supports co-operation between Canada and Vietnam by providing funding support and training to Vietnamese graduate students as they pursue graduate studies at Memorial. VIED fellows admitted as full-time doctoral students at Memorial will be awarded a CDN$5,000 fellowship each year for four years.

Among the delegates from PVU were Dr. Phan Minh Quoc Binh, rector; Dr. Le Quoc Phong, head, Academic Affairs Department; and Dr. Ho Trong Long, head, Geology and Geophysics department, PVU.

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

In recent years, with more focus on the production quality and efficient use of metals and alloys for sustainable development, research and application activities in corrosion and related issues have made significant contributions to Vietnam’s industry, business, education, training, national defence and security.

In the continuation of its scientific tradition, the Vietnam Corrosion and Metal Protection Association (VICORRA) in coordination with the PetroVietnam University (PVU), with the consent of the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) and the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations (VUSTA), will hold the 5th National Conference, themed “Corrosion and Metal Protection for Energy Development.”

This Conference is an important event for nationwide experts and institutions to exchange their knowledge, experiences and information about research and applications in the field of corrosion, metal protection and related issues, especially for the energy project. This is also an opportunity for our foreign colleagues involved in collaboration with Vietnamese counterparts to share the results of cooperation and to orientate future cooperation.

The Conference is going to be held in Ba Ria – Vung Tau Province, one of the most well-known national oil and gas extraction and refinery centres, an energy and heavy industry area combined with big marine ports and famous tourist destination of our country.

The Organizing Committee cordially invites all interested colleagues and institutions to participate in the Conference. Your attendance will be a great contribution to the success of the Conference.

Phát triển đội ngũ giảng viên chất lượng cao có ý nghĩa rất lớn và mang tính quyết định đến sự phát triển của Đại học Dầu khí Việt Nam (PVU) trong tương lai, phù hợp với định hướng phát triển mà Tập đoàn Dầu khí Việt Nam đã đề ra.

Với mục tiêu đó, bên cạnh kiến thức chuyên môn vững vàng thì cán bộ giảng dạy cần phải thành thạo các kỹ năng về sư phạm và phương pháp giảng dạy đại học. Nhận thấy tầm quan trọng của việc đó Ban giám hiệu Trường đại học Dầu khí Việt Nam đã giao trách nhiệm cho Trung tâm Bồi dưỡng Nâng Cao tổ chức khoá học “Phương pháp & kỹ năng giảng dạy đại học” cho đội ngũ giảng viên của Trường trong hai ngày 23 và 24/05/2017.

Khóa học được tổ chức tại hội trường lớn của PVU, do TS. Tống Xuân Tám (Đại học Sư Phạm TP. Hồ Chí Minh) trực tiếp giảng dạy. Với vốn kiến thức sâu rộng cùng kinh nghiệm thực tiễn phong phú, giảng viên đã làm cho các nội dung về phương pháp giảng dạy đại học trở nên sinh động và dễ hiểu hơn. Khoá học được đánh giá rất cao bởi những nội dung thực tế góp phần tháo gỡ được những vướng mắc trong công tác giảng dạy của các giảng viên. Bên cạnh nội dung lý thuyết, khoá học còn dành một phần lớn thời gian để các học viên thực hành thao giảng, thông qua đó có thể góp ý và rút kinh nghiệm lẫn nhau nhằm giúp tăng cường kỹ năng giảng dạy.

Các nhóm đang thảo luận nội dung chuẩn bị cho phần thực hành giảng dạy

Thầy Đinh Quang Sang, giảng viên khoa Dầu Khí thực hành thao giảng

Theo TS. Tống Xuân Tám, do có sự chuẩn bị và đầu tư kỹ càng hỗ trợ cho học viên chương trình đào tạo đã kết thúc và thành công tốt đẹp, các giảng viên của trường Đại học Dầu Khí Việt Nam đều đã lĩnh hội được những kiến thức quý báu và hữu ích áp dụng vào công tác giảng dạy thực tế.

Trao phần thưởng cho các nhóm .
