   – Apply advanced technology in production, exploit and use combusion engine, road, water and air transportation, specialised vehicle and aero-hydraulic equipment
   – Use techniques, skills and advanced tools of the transportation engineering in reality
   – Work in a interdisciplinary group and meet requirement from industrial projects with the participation of experts from various fields
   – Identify problems and apply advanced knowledge, technical tools and practical skills to solve problems and meet the practical requirement of the society

   b. Research Orientation
   After completion of the master of transportation engineering with research orientation, the graduates would have:
   – Highly professional knowledge and interdisciplinary technical knowledge that will be widely applied in the transportation engineering field
   – Sciecntific methods for doing research, self-study, effective and creative use of technical inventions and advanced tools to solve practical problems of the transportation engineering
   – Proficiency in analysing and synthesizing components, systems on the transportation facilities and aero-hydraulic systems; detecting problems and using professional and interdisciplinary knowledge to find solutions for specific cases in the transportation engineering field, both domestic and the local region.
   – Scientific and professional working methods, systematic thinking, ability to present, communicate and work in team effectively, and ability to integrate into the international envvironment.
   – Ability to meet requirements from production, research, teaching and techno-scientific service in the transportation engineering field
   – Knowledge for Ph.D study at both, domestc and overseas

2 Study time

The course is designed for 1 year long (2 semesters). According to the credit-based training regulation, to complete the program, students could extend maximum 2 years (4 semesters)

3 Amount of knowledge for the whole course

Application orientation: 40 credits
