The next decade promises transformative changes in the automotive industry, transitioning from traditional internal combustion engines to hybrid and electric powertrains. This shift creates a growing demand for new engineering skills, which our Automotive Engineering HND seeks to respond to.Our programme features significant investments in advanced engineering facilities, providing students with access to specialised automotive workshops, engine diagnostic labs, chassis dynamometers, hybrid/electric powertrain facilities, and extensive fabrication and machining resources. These state-of-the-art facilities support a hands-on learning experience, essential for understanding and applying the principles of automotive engineering.We maintain close collaboration with industry partners, ensuring that our curriculum remains relevant and that students gain the necessary knowledge and passion for both performance and mainstream automotive sectors. The course focuses on core areas such as vehicle dynamics, suspension, ride, handling, and Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH). Special emphasis is placed on powertrain development, particularly as the industry moves towards sustainable fuels and advanced battery technologies.Additionally, the programme highlights the environmental considerations in automotive design and technology, preparing students for a diverse range of career opportunities. Through practical applications and extracurricular activities, students can apply theoretical knowledge to real-world automotive challenges.While not exclusively focused on autonomous vehicles, the course provides insights into the latest automotive trends, including the development of cleaner, more efficient vehicles. Graduates of this programme will be well-prepared to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving industry, equipped with the skills and knowledge to become modern automotive engineers.
