Overview

About this course

This four-year BSc (Hons) in Engineering in Automotive Engineering is taught at CINEC Campus. CINEC describes it as an industry-driven programme that adds specialist automotive modules to a broad mechanical engineering background. The early semesters cover engineering mathematics, drawing, materials, mechanics, thermodynamics, workshop practice and electronics. From the second year students study automobile technology, fluid dynamics, heat engines, automotive electronics, finite element analysis, CAD/CAM, refrigeration and air-conditioning, and control systems. The final year includes automotive systems design, industrial instrumentation, engineering innovation and enterprise, and a final-year project and dissertation. Students can also take a semester-long industrial placement with an engineering organisation at the end of the second year.
