1. Program Overview

1.1 General goal

Aim to impart knowledge, skills and ethics for resolving issues related to researching, designing, creating, operating, optimizing and maintaining machinery’s systems in Mechanical Engineering, as well as being capable of delivering the needs that meet the demands of socio-economic development of Vietnam.

1.2 Program objectives, PO

Mechanical Engineering program will equip students with the specific objectives (PO), as follows:

PO1: Being able to master and apply general knowledge, basic knowledge of engineering, and specialized knowledge Mechanical Engineering.

PO2: Being able to technically reason, analysis, and evaluate skills; at the same time can manage technology, design, manufacture, install, operate, build maintenance procedures, and mechanical systems.

PO3: Being able to do research, knowledge discovery, teamwork, communication, and international integration skills.

PO4: Having students possess professional ethics, social responsibility, an attitude to respect the law, the ability to grasp the trends of society, and a life-learning habit.

2. Output Standard

In addition to the requirement of work ethics, the attitude to comply with labor safety, the qualification of political theory, the knowledge of nation defense and security according to the current regulation, and being qualified in using IT issued by Ministry of Information and Communication, students who graduates from Mechanical Engineering are required to comprehend the minimum competence as follows:
