Thermal Engineering plays an important role in the industrial production process. This is one of the Top 5 engineering majors with the highest post-graduation employment rates. To learn more detailed information about the field of study and career prospects after graduation, join EAUT in reading the entire article below.
What is Thermal Engineering?
The Thermal Engineering Major or Thermal – Refrigeration Engineering Technology appeared in Vietnam in the 1960s. When the North embarked on industrialization, it received help from the Soviet Union and China to build thermal power plants. Electrical energy is the key to industrialization. Therefore, since its inception, thermal – refrigeration engineering has always been a key sector in the industrial production process.
So what is Thermal Engineering? Thermal Engineering is the field that studies thermal and refrigeration systems, applying science and technology to design and operate thermal – refrigeration systems and equipment, serving human life needs as well as industrial production.
The field includes three main areas:
- Production and conversion of energy forms – the field of thermal power and renewable energy;
- Providing heat and steam for industrial, commercial, and household use – industrial heat;
- Refrigeration and air conditioning technology.
