Which education level in Auto Mechanics is suitable? It takes a long time to study in a university or college, with a lot of theory, less chances for practicing, and in intermediate school, it is not known whether knowledge taught here is sufficient to work. Above is the common concern of many young people.
Studying Auto Mechanics is becoming one of the choices of many young people. Automotive-related majors are currently taught at all three levels: university, college and intermediate with many different schools.
The following article from College of Science and Technology will provide you with details as reference to help you make the right choice.
1. What is the goal of studying automotive technology?
Before deciding what to do, you should seriously consider the goal you want to achieve.
You choose to study Auto Mechanics because of your desire to become a skilled mechanic who can diagnose cars and help them become perfect or your goal is to become an expert in automobiles, specializing in Auto Mechanics. automotive system design.
You study this profession because you are passionate about cars, passionate about engines or simply want to choose a career with potential in the future.
2. What level of education is right for your goals?
First, Auto Mechanics is not available at the university level. The undergraduate level trains engineers in automotive technology with the goal of studying mechanical systems, structures, and coming up with new technological designs. Therefore, if you study at university, theory will be more than practice. And even with practice, it is mainly about finding out the car’s problems and coming up with solutions to improve and replace them, rather than focusing on fixing them.
Universities and regular colleges both share the same studying goal, so it requires students to spend a lot of time, effort and ability to research and study in depth. This course takes 4-5 years to complete.
Vocational intermediate level and vocational training centers are places providing training for car repair. The goal of this level of training is for mechanics who are able to grasp vehicle diseases and provide timely treatment.
From the above goal, in the training process, the practice time accounts for 70% while the theory is only 30%. The study period is short and depending on the levels, lasts from 1 to 3 years.
So if your goal is to become a skilled mechanic or simply find a suitable job, then you should choose to study online or at a vocational college. If you are a science lover and want to create new things, university will be more suitable for you.
3. Automotive Technology study orientation that you should know
In fact, the automobile industry in Vietnam is still underdeveloped. Automotive products of Vietnam are still mainly assembled and CBU imported. That’s the reason why our automotive engineers’ “performance stage” is very small. To demonstrate this, let’s list all the car manufacturers present in Vietnam from cars to trucks and show how many of them have factories in Vietnam. The answer is very few including Toyota, Hyundai, Ford, Honda, etc, the rest are mainly imported and assembled companies.
Meanwhile, the number of cars in Vietnam has increased a lot in recent years and will surely grow even more after Vietnam imposed zero tax in 2019. The high number of cars means that accompanying services also increase, such as maintenance, repair, and refurbishment. At the same time, these jobs require workers in capability, not in qualifications.
From the above facts, the advice for those of you who love automotive technology and want to become a is to choose to study at a college or vocational intermediate level first. After that, if you want to improve your level, you can still study at the university at any time.
