History
The Group of Quality Management was formed on the basis of subjects that have been developed since the early years of Hanoi University of Science and Technology. The first curriculum was mostly developed and taught by the Teachers who graduated from 1st and 2nd cohorts of the university
1956-1966: Initially only a specialized groups of Food Engineering
1967-1977: Establishment of Department of Tropical plants Technology at the Viet Tri University of Light Industries
1977-2003: Viet Tri University of Light Industries merged with Hanoi University of Technology and the Department of Tropical Plants Technology are maintained with specialized processing technologies such as sugar, tea, coffee - tobacco, vegetable oils, oils. Well-known teachers have a name in the field of the Assoc.Prof. Nguyen Ngo, Assoc. Prof. Nguyen Nang Vinh, Assoc. Prof. Le Bach Tuyet...
2003: Establishment Department of Quality Management and Tropical Food Technology belonging to School of Biotechnology & Food Technology with an expansion-oriented teaching and scientific research into the quality management in the food industry under the lead of Prof. Ha Duyen Tu.
2010: Department of Quality Management and Tropical Food Technology was renamed into Department of Quality Management
12/2023: Group of Quality Management
1. General Introduction
Group of Quality Management was established in Desember 2023 on the basis of previously Quality Management Department with the objectives: to build and expand Quality Management in two areas: Food Engineering and Bioengineering, with three major professional segments: Scientific Quality, Quality Analysis and Quality Systems
Faculty and staff of the Group of Quality Management currently consists of 8 members including 3 Associate Professor, 2 Ph.D. and 3 Masters. They were trained in Vietnam and in the countries with developed science and technology, such as Japan, Belgium, Austria, Bulgaria, France and with high professional level. Department of Quality Management is an address for training, scientific research and technology transfer of reliability in Vietnam in the field of quality management, food technology.
