Control and Automation Engineering is the study of researching, designing, and operating automatic systems and modern production lines. At EIU, the Control and Automation Engineering program focuses on skills for designing and manufacturing automatic machines and for controlling new machines and technologies. The program also focuses on developing practical skills for students using modern machines and equipment. This will build a foundation to help students to easily adapt to a real working environment. Combined with the required outcome of IELTS band 6.0, students will conveniently work in an international environment.

Program Highlights

  • 100% of students will achieve at least IELTS Band 6.0 before graduation
  • The study program integrates a variety of technical computing software (Matlab, Visual C#), coding, and programming software for PLCs and SCADA systems, robot simulation software, CAD/CAM-CNC, as well as other design software and electronic design automation software (Orcad, Multisim, Proteus)
  • Students get lots of practical hours and can study in a system of practice rooms, large-scale laboratories equipped with modern machinery, equipment, and use the same technologies being used by businesses
  • Students will have opportunities to be trained at top companies in Vietnam and abroad, beginning from the 3rd year
  • Students will conduct actual projects assigned by businesses and lecturers – or perform Capstone Projects with real companies

Job Opportunities

After graduation, Control and Automation Engineering students have extremely diverse job opportunities, such as specialists, and consulting engineers in the design, operation, and maintenance at businesses, companies, factories, and production lines. Students will have enough knowledge to design and operate hardware and software systems that control machines, automatic equipment, and automatic production systems. Other opportunities include technology consulting, engineering design, programming, control, construction, and transfer of automatic and semi-automatic lines, systems, or even management of projects in the field of control and automation. Graduates can continue their postgraduate studies in Vietnam or abroad, or start up a business in automation control.
