The programme is designed to build your confidence and skills base and will equip you with an awareness of automotive engineering in the wider social, ethical, sustainable, and economic context. You will be facilitated to explore many engineering options and not be limited by conventional approaches or established solutions but rather to challenge convention where appropriate. The BEng programme is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) to meet the academic requirements for registration as an Incorporated Engineering (IEng), and partially meet the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). You can meet the requirement in full by studying for an additional year and gaining a MEng (Hons). If you know from the start that you’d prefer a MEng, please apply for MEng (Hons) Automotive Engineering instead of this course. An optional placement year [MB1] is embedded into the programme to offer the opportunity to gain invaluable industrial and international experience and further demonstrate compliance with professional practice competencies set by IMechE. Our students benefit from close links with industry and engagement with IMechE’s North East and Young Members Network and our graduates work in leading multi-national employers such as Exxon Mobil, Caterpillar, Nissan, Airbus, British Engines and GE.
