Program Overview
The next decade promises to bring exciting changes to the automotive industry. As we transition from internal combustion engines to hybrid and electric 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 program, you will have access to specialized 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.
