FPT Launches Automotive Software Engineering Department, Advancing Education for Future Workforce
FPT launches the Automotive Software Engineering
(ASE) department in an effort to bolster university education for future
engineers. This initiative is jointly operated by FPT Automotive and FPT
University in response to the recent advancements in automotive technologies
and contribution to the development of high-quality human resources for this
high-growth sector on a global scale.
Students enrolling
in the ASE department at FPT University will be equipped with comprehensive
knowledge from basic automobile design principles and operations, to an
in-depth understanding of electronic and software systems. They can also
acquire specialized skills in designing, developing, and testing software
systems and embedded systems of automobiles, including vehicle operation
control systems, energy control systems, in-car environmental control systems,
safety features, entertainment and connectivity systems, and advanced driver
assistance systems (ADAS). Through the guidance of experienced experts in
automotive and embedded systems from FPT, graduates from this program will have
the opportunity to work on various projects with FPT Automotive’s clients
globally.
The curriculum of
ASE department is designed with consideration to recommendations and standards
of international institutions, including the United States Association for
Computing Machinery (ACM) for undergraduate IT programs, the AQAS (The Agency
for Quality Assurance through Accreditation of Study Programs), ABET
(Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) accreditation for
educational programs, as well as international standards for functional safety
in the automotive industry (ISO 26262) and automotive cybersecurity (ISO
21434).
"The
fast-evolving automotive industry calls for professionals with in-depth
expertise in both automotive engineering and digital technology. Their roles
require a combination of skills, experience and agility, which cannot easily be
replaced by AI. FPT Automotive is committed to collaborating closely with FPT
University to nurture the next generation of automotive software engineers from
Vietnam, contributing to positioning our home country as a prominent
destination on the global tech map," said FPT Automotive CEO Kinh Nguyen.
"Compared to
other markets globally, resources for automotive technology in Vietnam still
require further improvement, with strengthened investment and focus. The
collaboration between FPT University and such high-potential and reputable
business like FPT Automotive will lay the foundation for developing a rich pool
of talents and experts in this field. This will also present promising
opportunities for young generations interested in automotive and technology,
allowing them to hone their skills and succeed in the global landscape," -
Dr. Tran Ngoc Tuan, Vice Rector of FPT University.
The signing
ceremony between FPT Automotive and FPT University was held at the FPT
Automotive Techday 2024, an event where business leaders and automotive tech
experts gathered to exchange insights and discuss the latest industry trends.
This event follows the recent launch of FPT Automotive and the opening of its office in India, marking the company's
