How many credits are required to study civil electrical engineering at college in Vietnam?

Based on subsection 1, Section A, Part 5 of the Regulations issued together with Circular 41/2018/TT-BLDTBXH:

General Introduction to the Industry

Civil electrical engineering at the college level is an industry in which practitioners specialize in the installation, operation, maintenance of motors, generators, repair of civil electrical systems, household electrical devices, control and warning devices, solar energy systems, and smart home systems, meeting technical requirements and ensuring safety, and meeting the level 5 requirements in the Vietnam National Qualifications Framework.

Civil electrical engineering practitioners are usually technical officers, design officers at production facilities, agencies, business units in technology, or self-organizers and owners of production and repair facilities for household and civil electrical devices.

The tasks of the industry are mainly performed in workshops, factories, production and business companies with favorable working conditions, ensuring safety, hygiene, and economic efficiency; the work intensity is not high but under great pressure in terms of service time and diverse customer satisfaction requirements.

To practice, workers must have good health, good professional ethics, sufficient professional knowledge, and vocational skills to meet job positions.

In addition, they need to regularly study to improve their communication skills in foreign languages, information technology to expand social knowledge; practice caution, detail, clarity; build a sense of profession and passion.

Minimum Knowledge Volume: 2,500 hours (equivalent to 90 credits).

Thus, students majoring in civil electrical engineering at the college level must study a minimum of 2,500 hours (equivalent to 90 credits).
