On the morning of July 2, 2025, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering & Technology at the Polytechnic College of Engineering and Technology (CTECH) held the graduation thesis defense session for over 100 students from the 13th cohort (K13) of the Automotive Engineering program.
This event not only marked an important milestone in the growth of these future engineers but also reaffirmed the school’s commitment to practical, application-oriented training.
In a formal yet enthusiastic atmosphere, 21 thesis topics were presented to the academic council. Ranging from solutions to improve engine performance and optimize transmission systems to models applying automation technology in vehicle maintenance and repair, each project reflected the students’ serious investment, creative mindset, and ability to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world challenges.
The evaluation council highly praised the students' thorough preparation, sharp critical thinking, and confident presentation style. Beyond their solid technical knowledge, many projects demonstrated clear career orientation and strong potential for application in modern industrial settings. The thesis defense also offered students a moment to reflect on their learning journey — from countless hours in the workshop and sleepless nights perfecting models and technical drawings to the rewarding recognition they received from teachers, family, and peers on this meaningful day.
The institution extends heartfelt congratulations to all K13 students of the Automotive Engineering program on achieving this memorable milestone. May you continue to carry the flame of passion, a disciplined spirit, and the ambition to reach greater heights in both your careers and personal lives.
CTECH also expresses its gratitude to the faculty of the Mechanical Engineering & Technology Department for their dedicated guidance, mentorship, and inspiration throughout the students’ academic journey. This thesis defense is not only a beautiful ending to a learning chapter but also the promising beginning of a new generation of automotive engineers poised to contribute to the industry’s future.
Projects such as “Model of an Electric Power Steering System Integrated with a Warning Sensor” or “Design and Simulation of an Engine Fault Diagnostic System via Mobile App” clearly demonstrate that students are not only learning for knowledge’s sake, but also to solve real-world problems. Their creative thinking, paired with digital technology skills, resulted in highly feasible products — with the potential to evolve into commercial solutions or tech startups.
For many students, the thesis defense wasn’t just a “final test,” but rather a declaration: “I am ready to enter the industry.” Every presentation slide and every 3D simulation projected on the screen was the result of months of research, testing, and revision — sometimes just to fine-tune a parameter so the engine would run a few percent smoother.
CTECH’s “learn by doing” training model once again proves its value through these high-quality theses. Emphasizing hands-on practice, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving akin to business environments, the school helps students develop an engineer’s mindset from early on. This is one of the key reasons why CTECH graduates are highly regarded by employers right upon graduation.
Behind every successful project lies a robust support ecosystem — from dedicated lecturers and workshops open until 9 PM, to professional seminars hosted by alumni and industry engineers. That collective effort has empowered students to craft a graduation journey that will remain unforgettable.
