If you have a passion for cars, an enthusiasm for engineering and design, together with excellent maths and IT skills, then this course could help you make a real difference in this vital industry. <br/><br/>Successful graduates of Automotive Engineering should be able to apply their comprehensive understanding of vehicle engineering in a wide variety of roles in the automotive industry and beyond. <br/><br/><br/>* Focusing on how engineering is used in automotive applications, this course provides you with the opportunity to qualify either at Bachelor level, or if you choose to follow the MEng pathway, at master’s degree level. The MEng route could be ideal for those seeking leadership positions in the development of new technologies and design of future vehicles. <br/><br/><br/>* This MEng/BEng in Automotive Engineering aims to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of automotive engineering and develop knowledge, skills and expertise that can be applied to the engineering sector. <br/><br/><br/>* The educational experience also aims to develop your intellectual and personal skills, and give you the capability to undertake a practical research study and publish results. <br/><br/><br/>**Key Course Benefits**<br/><br/><br/>* Opportunity to participate in field trips* which have previously included observing crash tests at the GM Milford proving site and a tour of the Ford F150 factory in Detroit, USA. <br/><br/><br/>* On and off site access to commercial engineering software, such as 3D CAD, Finite Element Analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics and Multibody Systems for design and simulation, as well as the opportunity for training in industry-standard Catia, HyperWorks, STAR-CCM+ and SIMPACK software. <br/><br/><br/>* You will be taught by current academics with wide ranging experience in the automotive fields. Our current academics are actively involved in commercial and academic research, whose expertise could further-enrich your learning and enhance your understanding of the challenges facing engineers today. (Please note staff subject to change) <br/><br/><br/>* You will benefit from access to modern facilities** and our current strong links with local industry, which aim to help ensure our course reflects current thinking, the latest technologies, design systems and testing processes. <br/><br/><br/>* With current extensive links to well-known automotive companies like Jaguar Land Rover and Lotus<br/><br/><br/>This degree is accredited by the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) up to and including the 2025 intakes under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council. Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). An accredited degree will provide you with some or all of the underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills for eventual registration as an Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng). Some employers recruit preferentially from accredited degrees, and an accredited degree is likely to be recognised by other countries that are signatories to international accords. <br/><br/>Students completing an IMechE accredited degree are deemed to have met part or all of the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered or Incorporated Engineer, and are in a strong position to move on to achieve professional engineering status after a period of initial professional development in industry.<br/>The accredited BEng (Hons) will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer and students will need to complete an approved format of further learning pursuant to the requirements of UK-SPEC.<br/>The accredited BEng (Hons) will also automatically meet in full, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).<br/>The accredited MEng fully meets the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements, for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
