- The academic program includes three main parts: Generic education, specialized knowledge and Graduation thesis. All of them have strong connection and are be taught by different teachers:
+ Lecturers from the Faculty of Foundation Science are in charge of teaching generic knowledge.
+ Lecturers from the Faculty of Vehicles and Energy Engineering are in charge of teaching specialized knowledge.
+ Specific lecturers will instruct students to do research within 6 months in graduation thesis, which is aimed at bringing students opportunities to enhance knowledge and sharpen skills.
- The academic program lasts 8 semesters. Excellent students are allowed to study more credits in one semester, and, therefore, graduate sooner than others. Maximum time for program completion is 8 years.
