The field of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (M&E) is becoming an attractive field, playing an essential role in the development of technical infrastructure and attracting many high-quality job opportunities.
Mechanical and electrical engineering is a training industry that combines mechanics, electricity, electronics and automation, focusing on the design, installation, operation and maintenance of mechanical and electrical systems in construction works such as high-rise buildings, commercial centers, hospitals, schools, factories... The main systems include: power supply and lighting systems; air conditioning and ventilation systems; water supply and drainage systems, wastewater treatment in the works; fire protection systems; intelligent building management systems (BMS) and renewable energy systems.
Social demand for human resources and high-quality job opportunities
In fact, any modern construction project needs a mechanical and electrical system to ensure functionality, comfort and safety. According to reports on human resources in the construction and engineering industry, the demand for recruiting mechanical and electrical engineers in Vietnam is increasing by an average of 10 - 15% per year, especially in large cities such as Hanoi , Hai Phong, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City... where many civil, industrial and technical infrastructure projects are being implemented. Vietnam is attracting strong domestic and foreign investment capital into industrial parks, commercial centers, high-end hotels, entertainment areas... which further increases the demand for highly skilled M&E engineers who know how to use technical software (AutoCAD MEP, Revit MEP, Navisworks...), have good management thinking and teamwork ability.
Graduates of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering can work in many different positions, specifically: M&E design engineer, Mechanical and Electrical construction supervision engineer; Operation and maintenance engineer; M&E bidding consultant; Technical consultant, implementing green energy systems in modern and smart projects.
Training in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at the Faculty of Infrastructure Engineering and Urban Environment - Hanoi University of Architecture
The Mechanical and Electrical Engineering major is recruiting and training university-level students in 2020 (the first batch of students will graduate in 2024). The training program framework is established to meet the program's goals and output standards in the direction of approaching Mechanical and Electrical Engineering in the world , approaching in 4 main directions (forming ideas, designing ideas, implementing and operating). The training program focuses on 3 main areas: electricity, water and air conditioning and ventilation at a basic ratio of 30%-30%-30%, the remaining 10% is specialized (prioritizing creativity and self-study of students). This is a new and different point of the school compared to other universities. Accordingly, the training program for the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering major is fully equipped, balanced, and not biased towards one area.
Training is closely linked to reality and practicality: during the training process, students participate in practice, internships, access to real projects, professional tours, and are equipped with knowledge to meet the needs of businesses after graduation.
