Hydropower Engineering AoS lures August 2005 enrollees
The Hydropower Engineering area of specialization (AoS) to be launched at AIT's School of Civil Engineering will lure its first batch of enrollees in the August 2005 semester. Fourteen staff of the Electricity Vietnam (EVN) are expected to comprise in part of this new master's program. The new program is a result of the AIT's partnership with Electricity Vietnam (EVN) signed in 2003.
The new AoS will fall under the umbrella of Water Engineering and Management Field of Study. A master's degree in Hydropower engineering will lead students to an understanding of the complexity of water use, hydropower generation, and water resources management problems. The curriculum will incorporates elective courses on control and automation technologies, design and management hydropower structures, as well as geotechniques in hydropower projects and integrated water resources management.
The master's program -- to entail a 21.4 month study -- will consider students who acquired an undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Geology, or Construction Engineering and Management.
The 14 prospective students from EVN are currently undergoing an 8-week English preparation course at AIT Vietnam just in time for admission in the August 2005 semester.<p
