Structural Engineering Department was separated from The Department of Construction in January 2012 at the same time with other departments.

Structural Engineering Department is a core discipline in training specialized knowledge for the training programs of the faculty. Knowledge is included of structural analysis computation, materials behavior, reinforced concrete structures and steel structures, projects and graduation thesis guidance. Annually, students attended Olympic team Structural Mechanics are trained by some of the lecturers of the Department.

In addition, the department also promote science research activities and technology transfer, participate in science research projects at all levels, publish many articles and papers in journals, international conferences, periodicals domestic and press conferences in Vietnam, instruct the student getting familiar with science research by various topics.

Structural Engineering Department owns 2 laboratories: Structural engineering Laboratory and Construction Material Laboratory for teaching, science research, and technology transfer cooperation.
