2. Overview of the specialization, training duration, and degree awarded

2.1. Specialization overview

The Automotive Engineering specialization is delivered by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. This is one of the newest specializations at Hanoi University of Civil Engineering, first admitting students in 2021.

The curriculum is developed using the CDIO approach (Conceive – Design – Implement – Operate) and is evaluated in accordance with ABET accreditation standards (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, USA).

The Automotive Engineering specialization equips students with foundational, interdisciplinary, and major-specific knowledge, including in-depth expertise in automotive engineering. Therefore, upon graduation, students will possess fundamental professional competencies that meet societal demands in: designing automotive components and systems, maintenance and repair systems, manufacturing processes, conducting experiments, as well as analyzing and evaluating data. Students will also develop technical skills relevant to automotive engineering and related fields, together with autonomy and social responsibility.

After graduation, students may pursue higher degrees such as Engineer, Master’s, PhD, or a second degree in other majors/specializations at Hanoi University of Civil Engineering and other universities in Vietnam and abroad.

The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering is committed to accompanying students throughout their study journey, cooperating with enterprises in student recruitment, and introducing job positions aligned with each student’s abilities, strengths, and passion.

2.2. Training duration and degree awarded

  • Bachelor’s degree: 4 years

  • Engineer’s degree (equivalent to Master’s level): 5–5.5 years

3. Knowledge and skills acquired after graduation

3.1. Knowledge

  • Ability to identify and solve problems in mechanical engineering and automotive engineering, taking into account cultural, social, economic, and environmental factors through the application of mathematics, science, engineering principles, and systems thinking.
