Are you excited by high-speed motorcycles and interested in the motorcycle engineering industry? Our Motorcycle Engineering BEng with a foundation year could be the perfect course for you. This degree provides a strong grounding in the mechanical engineering aspects of motorcycles, helping you understand both the basics and advanced technology used in this field.Starting with the foundation year, you’ll get a broad introduction to core mechanical engineering principles. This year is designed to prepare you for more specialised study, making sure you have the essential knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the main degree programme.The main part of the course focuses on high-performance racing vehicles, with special attention to their ride and handling requirements. You will learn about powertrain performance and efficiency, which are crucial for motorcycle design. You’ll use industry-standard tools like Computer-Aided Design, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). These tools help you understand and improve the design of motorcycles. We also use Ricardo WAVE engine simulation to study engine performance, giving you practical experience with cutting-edge technology.The course covers important topics such as advanced engine design, powertrain design, vehicle dynamics, aerodynamics, and electrical control. You will work on independent and group projects that allow you to apply what you’ve learned to real-world challenges. This practical experience is valuable for preparing you for a career in the automotive and motorcycle sectors.A unique aspect of our course is the emphasis on environmental considerations. We teach sustainable design and technology, which are increasingly important in today’s world. This includes exploring electric vehicles and their role in the future of transportation.With state-of-the-art facilities and expert guidance, our course helps you become a skilled design engineer. If you’re interested in the latest electric vehicle technology and vehicle dynamics, this degree will equip you with the knowledge and skills to thrive in this exciting field. 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.
