The laboratories are sponsored by the German Corporation for International Cooperation GmbH under the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, with an aim to develop a Training Center for Renewable Energies at the college.

Master Nguyen Phan Anh Quoc, principal of the school, expected the books would help the students study more effectively. He also hoped that the students’ feedback would help technological books become more practical.
