AUTOMATION AND CONTROL ENGINEERING

1. Training Program Overview

Program name (Vietnamese): CÔNG NGHỆ KỸ THUẬT ĐIỀU KHIỂN VÀ TỰ ĐỘNG HÓA

Program name (English): AUTOMATION AND CONTROL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY

Education level: Bachelor

Major: Automation and Control Engineering Technology

Major code: 7510303

Field of study: Engineering Technology

Mode of study: Full time

Quality accreditation information:

The Bachelor's program in Automation and Control Engineering Technology has met the educational quality standards issued by the Minister of Education and Training (MOET) since 2023.

2. Overview of Control Engineering and Automation Technology

Control Engineering and Automation Technology is a field of training and research focused on theoretical control methods and algorithms integrated with modern technical equipment to automate industrial production lines, management systems, and technological processes. Playing a pivotal role in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0), this discipline contributes decisively to enhancing productivity, improving product quality, optimizing energy consumption, and ensuring operational safety. The program typically centers on two main areas of specialization: Automation of Industrial Processes (such as plant monitoring and management systems, supervisory control, and smart production lines) and Control of Automated Devices and Systems (such as robotics, robotic arms, and embedded systems).

Learners are equipped with a solid foundation of general knowledge in engineering mathematics, physics, introductory computer science, and specialized English. The core engineering knowledge base provides an essential foundation through courses such as: automatic control theory (linear and nonlinear), electronic engineering, digital electronics, microprocessors and computer architecture, signals and systems, along with sensor and measurement technology. The general major curriculum dives deeper into the structure and operation of automated systems, including: programmable logic controllers (PLCs), applied power electronics, electric drives, pneumatic and hydraulic control systems, embedded systems, and industrial communication networks. On this basis, learners develop the capacity to analyze, design, program, operate, and integrate automation systems from single components to global scales.

Delving into specific concentrations, the Automatic Control pathway focuses heavily on courses such as: robotic engineering, intelligent control (fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms), optimal control, and real-time embedded control systems. Meanwhile, the Process Automation pathway emphasizes the design and supervision of large-scale systems, including: supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, distributed control systems, computer-integrated manufacturing, process control for the chemical, oil and gas, and cement industries, and smart energy management solutions.

In addition to classical control techniques, the field of Control Engineering and Automation Technology is currently integrating profound advancements from modern science. These include applying artificial intelligence and machine learning for predictive equipment maintenance, leveraging the Industrial Internet of Things to connect everything within the factory floor, and utilizing cloud computing and big data to optimize operational efficiency across the entire supply chain.

In the context of comprehensive digital transformation and the shift toward the "Smart Factory" model, the demand for highly skilled engineers in this field has become more urgent than ever, in both domestic and international markets. The educational program aims to produce experts who are not only proficient in practical skills and capable of mastering advanced technological equipment, but also possess systems thinking, the ability to research and develop new control algorithms, innovation capacity, and flexible adaptability to the continuous evolution of global technology.
