How many credits must a student complete for an associate degree in Mechatronics in Vietnam?

Based on Subsection 1, Section A, Part 15 of the Regulations issued in conjunction with Circular 48/2018/TT-BLDTBXH:

General Introduction to the Industry and Profession

An associate degree in mechatronics is a profession where practitioners perform design, assembly, connection, maintenance, and services related to mechatronics products and automated systems, meeting the requirements of level 5 in the Vietnam National Qualifications Framework.

Workers in the mechatronics profession can work in various positions in mechatronics product manufacturing and assembly plants, automatic production lines, companies providing mechatronics product maintenance and repair services, companies supplying mechatronics equipment, and customer service for mechatronics products and services.

The primary tasks of the mechatronics profession include: Designing mechatronics systems; analyzing the structure and operation of mechatronics systems; assembling, operating, and maintaining mechanical, electrical-electronic, hydraulic-pneumatic equipment systems, and automation systems using controllers; installing, operating automated equipment and systems; handling mechatronics system malfunctions; organizing group production, training low-level workers.

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

Thus, students in the mechatronics associate degree program need to complete a minimum of 2,500 hours (equivalent to 90 credits).
