Myanmar-Japan Technological Development Center-2 (MJTDC-2), one of the two main research centers of Yangon Technological University was donated by the people of Japan under the management of JICA and handed over to Myanmar Government led by Aung San Suu Kyi on the 26th December 2019. The project was a part of the Grant Aid "Project for Enhancing Technological Universities" (Grant Amount: 2,582 million Japanese Yen - Approx. 35.2 billion MMK).
The center is located near MJTDC 1 and canteen and can be directly accessed by large vehicles.
The MJTDC 2 is a three-story building, which is dedicated to the Civil Engineering researches. Both research centers are provided with advanced laboratory equipment.
JICA has been supporting YTU in capacity development of the teaching staffs through the Technical Cooperation "Project for Enhancing Engineering Higher Education (EEHE)". Under the project, 44 young teaching staffs were sent to Japan, and most of them have already returned to Myanmar after obtaining a Ph.D. degree from Japan. The research centers and laboratory equipment will enable YTU researchers including those who study in Japan to proceed further with more advanced researches using the new equipment.(According to JICA)
