1. History
In 1997, the Viet Nam National University Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam established the Science & Technology Development Journal, with its first issue published in 1998. The Science & Technology Development Journal is a multidisciplinary and multi-field publication with 6 sections, including (1) natural sciences, (2) engineering and technology, (3) economics-law and management, (4) social sciences and humanities, (5) earth and environmental sciences, and (6) health sciences.
After 20 years of development, due to the high number of submissions and in order to introduce its works to the international community, in 2017, the Viet Nam National University Ho Chi Minh City decided to restructure the Science and Technology Development Viet Nam Journal into 7 journals, including the Science & Technology Development Journal continuing to publish articles entirely in English, transforming the 6 sections into 6 journals that publish mostly in Vietnamese.
The Science & Technology Development Journal: Engineering and Technology (STDJ-ET) was formed from one section of the Science & Technology Development Journal. This journal published its first issue in 2018. Since 2018, the STDJ-ET has become the official journal of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, a member of the Viet Nam National University of Ho Chi Minh City, and is published by the National University of Ho Chi Minh City.
Since 2026, the journal has been renamed to VNUHCM Journal of Engineering and Technology (VNUHCMJ-ET).
