Motorsport Engineering HNC

The Motorsport Engineering programmes are intended to provide you with a thorough grounding in mechanical engineering science and technologies and their application to design and the solution of a range of engineering problems in the context of the motorsport engineering industry. The programmes aim to develop your ability to work with others to apply this work to real-world problems.<br/><br/>Your degree will focus on high-performance racing vehicles, in terms of both ride and handling requirements and powertrain performance and efficiency. The course will apply industry-standard tools and processes to investigate vehicle designs. These tools include Computer-Aided Design, Data Acquisition and advanced simulation packages such as Computation Fluid Dynamics and Finite Element Analysis.<br/><br/>Specialist areas of study include advanced engine design, powertrain design, vehicle dynamics, aerodynamics, and electrical control. Independent and group projects allow students to develop these specialisms further.<br/><br/>Within many of the modules, the course considers the environmental aspects of design and technology which are transferable to a broad range of employment opportunities. The course is supported by extracurricular opportunities to apply the theoretical knowledge learnt in the modules to real-life Motorsport applications.
