Abstract: Let $Omega$ be a bounded connected open subset in $mathbb{R}^n$ with smooth boundary $partialOmega$. Suppose that we have a system of real smooth vector fields $X=(X_1,X_2,$ $cdots,X_m)$ defined on a neighborhood of $overlineOmega$ that satisfies the H"{o}rmander's condition. Suppose further that $partialOmega$ is non-characteristic with respect to $X$. For a self-adjoint sub-elliptic operator $riangl{e}_X=-su{m}_{i=1}^m{X}_i^{\ast }{X}_i$ on $Omega$, we denote its $k^{th}$ Dirichlet eigenvalue by $lambd{a}_k$. We will provide an uniform upper bound for the sub-elliptic Dirichlet heat kernel. We will also give an explicit sharp lower bound estimate for $lambd{a}_k$, which has a polynomially growth in $k$ of the order related to the generalized M'{e}tivier index. We will establish an explicit asymptotic formula of $lambd{a}_k$ that generalizes the M'{e}tivier's results in 1976. Our asymptotic formula shows that under a certain condition, our lower bound estimate for $lambd{a}_k$ is optimal in terms of the growth of $k$. Moreover, the upper bound estimate of the Dirichlet eigenvalues for general sub-elliptic operators will also be given, which, in a certain sense, has the optimal growth order.
