The next decade promises to bring exciting changes to the automotive industry. As we move from the internal combustion engine to hybrid powertrains and electrical powertrains, there is a growing need for new engineering skills. We have invested significantly in our engineering facilities. As a student in the Automotive Engineering BEng programme, you will have access to specialised automotive workshops, engine diagnostic laboratories, chassis dynamometers, hybrid/electric powertrain facilities, and extensive fabrication and machining facilities.We closely collaborate with the automotive industry to ensure you gain the knowledge and passion needed for both performance and mainstream vehicles.The course aims to develop your understanding of fundamental physics and engineering skills through practical applications in car development, including suspension, ride, handling, and NVH (Noise Vibration and Harshness). Special emphasis is placed on the development of the powertrain as we shift towards sustainable fuels and advanced battery technologies.Our programme also highlights the environmental aspects of design and technology, which are crucial for a wide range of employment opportunities. You will have the chance to apply the theoretical knowledge from your modules to real-life automotive applications through various extracurricular opportunities.In this course, you will learn about the design and manufacture of mechanical and electrical systems in vehicles. While the focus is not solely on autonomous vehicles, you will gain insights into the latest trends and technologies, including the development of cleaner and efficient vehicles.By the end of this course, you will be prepared to become a modern automotive engineer, equipped with the skills and knowledge to succeed in an ever-evolving industry.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.
