You’ll explore various aspects of automotive design, development, testing, manufacturing, electronics and performance analysis – emerging as a highly skilled graduate ready to solve current and future problems in the industry. <br/><br/>If you dont meet the entry requirements for this course, or you’d like extra preparation before starting degree-level study, we recommend you join the BEng (hons) Automotive Engineering with foundation year course. <br/><br/>You could also consider our integrated Masters MEng Automotive Engineering course. With an extra year to develop specialist knowledge and enhance your research and project management experience, you gain advanced technical and professional skills to increase your future job prospects. Or, as long as you meet the required academic standards, you could enrol on the BEng and swap to the MEng later.<br/><br/>**How you learn**<br/><br/>All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive. <br/><br/>This course is designed for you to gain experience as a professional engineer from day one, where you’ll develop technical and professional skills from the very start.<br/><br/>You’ll experience and engage in a variety of learning activities as you progress through the course. We’ve designed a balanced mix of activities to help challenge you to think creatively, build knowledge and understanding, while also developing your professional skills and employability. These include practical laboratories and computer simulations to enhance your learning – with lab experiments designed to reinforce your learning of theoretical concepts. <br/><br/>You learn through: <br/><br/><br/>- Diverse lectures emphasising peer collaboration.<br/><br/><br/>- Tutorials to practise and apply your knowledge ahead of assessments.<br/><br/><br/>- Hands-on lab experience including computational modelling and simulation.<br/><br/><br/>- Q&A and discussions for self-assessment and understanding.<br/><br/><br/>- Support sessions for receiving feedback and preparing for assessments.<br/><br/><br/>- Teamwork activities for collaboration in an innovative environment.<br/><br/><br/>- Multidisciplinary project-based learning to apply knowledge, creativity, design, critical analysis and professional skills to real-world projects.<br/><br/><br/>**Course topics**<br/><br/>This course provides an in-depth study of the underpinning principles and practices involved in automotive engineering. It covers various aspects of automotive design, development, testing, manufacturing and performance analysis. <br/><br/>The course combines theoretical knowledge with practical hands-on experience while core modules cover the key aspects of automotive engineering. These range from electric, hybrid and internal combustion propulsion to automotive powertrains and vehicle systems, performance, dynamics, aerodynamics and styling. You’ll also explore sustainable materials, manufacturing and production – plus numerical methods, modelling and simulation.
