Automation and Control Engineering provides fundamental knowledge in electricity, electronics, signals and systems, automatic control theory, and control programming, combined with advanced technologies such as microprocessors, robotics, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems to operate machines and automated devices, aiming to optimize production processes. Today, automation and control engineering is widely applied in every aspect of life, from household automated electronic devices to modern industrial production lines, opening up diverse career opportunities across many fields.
The Bachelor’s program in Automation and Control Engineering at Eastern International University (EIU) is designed with a balance between theory and practice, enabling students to master theoretical foundations and develop strong professional skills. By pursuing this major, students are equipped with core knowledge of the discipline and have the opportunity to specialize in two main orientations: Industrial Automation and Control Systems.
Training orientations within the Automation and Control Engineering program include:
- Industrial Automation: Focuses on calculating, designing, and programming automated systems, robot control, remote monitoring and data acquisition via networks, image processing, and embedded system programming in automation to increase productivity, optimize automated production lines, and improve manufacturing processes.
- Control Systems: Focuses on research, calculation, monitoring and data acquisition, developing control algorithms, and seeking optimal solutions for robot controllers, active noise control systems, as well as applying artificial intelligence to automated systems in order to enhance production.
About the School of Engineering
Offering majors in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Automation and Control Engineering, Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering, the School of Engineering focuses on enhancing learners’ capabilities and creating added value through highly integrated and continuously updated training programs.
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
