In these times of industrialization and modernization, electrical engineering is important for everyday life and production. The field is therefore becoming a focal point enjoying the interest of many applicants and their parents. Many prospective students, however, still wonder about such questions like what one studies when studying Electrical Engineering, how high educational quality is, and what career opportunities are like.

To get a better understanding of the advantages of studies in Electrical Engineering, let us have a look at the curriculum and at the study environment for this major at Duy Tan University, a very prestigious university offering a major in Electrical Engineering.

Students of Electrical Engineering train with new and modern equipment.

What is Electrical Engineering?

Electrical Engineering is a major providing students with in-depth knowledge on operating, using, and maintaining electric and electronic systems and industrial production line control systems; organizing, maintaining, repairing, upgrading, and supervising electric and electronic systems; designing and manufacturing embedded systems and microchips; and producing automatic controller systems for production and for daily life. In addition to being taught basic to advanced knowledge, students will train such skills like teamwork skills, presentation skills, and English language communication skills.

Universities currently focus on training professional knowledge in parallel with honing practical skills, to provide the labor market with human resources possessing not only good professional skills, but also a good knowledge of foreign languages, soft skills, a passion for their work, and also a good ability to integrate in an international environment.

The advantage when studying Electrical Engineering at DTU

At DTU, Electrical Engineering students train with the CDIO model, a standardized training formula for engineering used around the world. The Faculty of Electrical Engineering furthermore officially partnered with Purdue University, one of the leading universities in the US in technology and engineering training, to develop two advanced programs in electrical engineering. Students have access to documentation transferred from Purdue University and are taught by and obtain certificates from lecturers from this school.

DTU is always focused on investing in modern facilities, to provide students with the best study environment. The Faculty of Electrical Engineering currently has five laboratories (advanced telecommunications, microprocessors, electronics, logic control, electric machines) and two centers supporting the lecturing and research of the Faculty (Center for Electrical Engineering, Center for Information Technology and Communications). The laboratories are equipped with new and modern equipment to meet the lecturing, studying, and scientific research requirements of the Faculty’s lecturers and students.
