What do you study in the Automotive Engineering Technology industry? What is the current demand for human resources in the Automotive Engineering Technology industry in Vietnam? Where should you study Automotive Engineering Technology? These are the concerns and questions of many candidates and parents when they learn about and intend to choose the Automotive Engineering Technology industry to study at university level. Let's find out through the article below!

According to the 2022 year-end report of the Vietnam Automobile Association - VAMA, the total number of cars sold in 2022 in Vietnam reached about 510,000 vehicles, not to mention the sales contribution of many other individual car brands such as Audi, Jaguar-Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Subaru, Volkswagen or Volvo. In the future, the Vietnamese car market can grow to 800,000 units/year according to a recent announcement by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. This is an ideal space for the development of the Vietnamese automobile industry.

What is Automotive Engineering Technology?

Nowadays, automobiles are one of the main means of transporting goods and people. Therefore, the number of automobiles in Vietnam is growing rapidly. Domestic consumption is estimated to increase by about 8% per year. This requires a highly specialized workforce to operate the automobile production and service system.

Therefore, the Automotive Engineering Technology industry was born. This is a field of study that integrates knowledge from many fields such as: Mechanics, electricity - electronics, automation, machine manufacturing technology, operating spare parts production lines, automobile assembly,...

What do you learn in Automotive Engineering Technology?

Training programs and subject names at schools sometimes differ slightly, but all aim to equip learners with in-depth knowledge and skills in:

- Automotive mechanics - engine

- Transmission system - power transmission

- Pneumatic structure

- Control system

After completing the Automotive Engineering Technology program, you will be able to:

- Proficiently use tools and equipment to disassemble, inspect and diagnose the condition of cars.

- Repair and replace parts or assemblies in cars.

- Equipped with full knowledge to design, improve, repair, upgrade or manufacture equipment in the automotive industry.

- Inspection, testing, as well as exploitation and use of automotive technical services.

- Continue studying to achieve higher degrees such as Masters, PhD or study other majors related to automobiles.

What is the current demand for human resources in the Automotive Engineering Technology industry in Vietnam?

The constant change and development of the automotive engineering technology industry in the context of integration and the 4.0 industrial revolution has led to a thirst for high-quality human resources in the industry. Therefore, training and improving the quality of human resources is the solution to the problem of human resource shortage in this industry.

According to recent studies, leading automobile corporations from Germany, Japan, the US, and South Korea such as BMW, Toyota, Honda, Ford, KIA, Hyundai, etc. in Vietnam always organize annual recruitment but the “source” is still not enough. In addition, large automobile enterprises in Vietnam such as Mercedes-Benz, VinFast, Truong Hai, and Hyundai Thanh Cong all have plans to expand their production scale, so the demand for human resources in the automotive engineering industry will continue to increase.

Therefore, human resources in the automotive engineering industry after being trained will not have to worry about employment. Even, well-trained human resources will have more opportunities for career development in the future.
