 1. Program Objectives   

    The Thermal Engineering Program aims to produce graduates with essential knowledge and skills enabling them to work effectively in consulting, researching, designing, manufacturing, operating, improving and maintaining Heat and Refrigeration systems. This program is also designed to prepare students for continued learning at higher levels and working in research or education establishments.

Specific program goals are as follows:
  (1) Providing students with basic knowledge on mathematics and science in order to study professional knowledge and to do further study;
  (2) Educating students with basic engineering knowledge and needed major knowledge in order to be able to solve problems related to analysis, evaluation, design, fabrication, operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, research and development of products in the fields of heat, refrigeration & air conditioning engineering;
  (3) Training students to improve their personal, professional, teamwork and communication skills in order to work in interdisciplinary and multicultural environments;
 (4) Providing students with good understanding of economics and politics, basic knowledge on social science and humanities suitable to the major in order to contribute effectively to the sustainable development of the community and the society.

2. Expected Learning Outcomes of the Program

    The Program Objectives are expressed through the following Learning Outcomes:
(a). Being able to apply mathematics and science/technology knowledge to problems in the fields of mechanical and thermal engineering.
(b). Being able to do experiments, analyses and evaluations in the fields of mechanical and thermal engineering.
(c). Being able to design a system, a component or a process in the field of thermal engineering in order to fulfill practical demands.
(d). Being able to do teamwork in order to realize common problems.
(e). Being able to identify, analyze and solve technical problems in the field of thermal engineering.
(f). Understanding the career, having a sense of responsibility and professional ethics in the fields of mechanical and thermal engineering.
(g). Being able to communicate effectively by doing report and presentation in the country and having good English ability in order to work in international environment.
(h). Identifying the impact of technical solutions on economics, environment and society.
(i). Identifying the importance of self-study and the need for life-long learning.
(j). Having knowledge of contemporary problems.
(k). Being able to apply related software in the fields of mechanical and thermal engineering.

* Contribution of courses to program learning outcomes

Note:  

-   The bolded courses are managed and operated by HRE Department.

-   The numbers (1, 2, …, 5) shown in this table correspond to the levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy presented in the following Figure:

3. EDUCATIONAL DURATION: 4 years (8 semesters)

4. TOTAL NUMBER OF CREDITS: 142credits

    HCMUT uses credit formulae to record all types of academic works. The HCMUT bachelor’s degree program of study on a semester calendar requires at least 140 credit hours to be earned by the student. Therefore, it is impossible to determine exactly the study period for completing all courses, but it is estimated nearly 4 years. In the case of Thermal Engineering Program, the total credit hours are 142.

* ADMISSION CRITERIA:

The applicants must satisfy the following basic requirements:

- Passing the national high school examination which is often organized in July every year.

- Attaining the minimum score of related faculty or program published by HCMUT in July-August each year.

- Being the ones who are in the best group in terms of the gained score depending on the quota of each faculty or program.

Note:

     + Based on the corresponding national high school examination, every year in July-August HCMUT publishes its minimum scores for applicants who want to apply to HCMUT. The minimum scores are considered as the first requirement. In principle, at the national high school examination, those who have gained the score higher than or equal to the published minimum score of related faculty or program can apply for HCMUT consideration. Depending on the quota of each faculty or program and depending on the quality of the applicants who have submitted, the benchmark would be later determined. The applicants who have gained the national high school examination score higher than or equal to the benchmark would be recruited.

    + Currently, for new student recruitment, Thermal Engineering Program is firstly merged with Manufacture Program & Mechatronic Program. After two first semesters, students will be regrouped based on their professional expectations. The annual recruitment quota of Thermal Engineering Program is from 80-90 students.
