Automotive Engineering

Automotive Engineering will provide students with a broad education designed to give them the skills necessary to become professional engineers. Years one and two of the Automotive Engineering program are the same as Mechanical Engineering, concentrating on basic engineering principles and including studies in mathematics and the physical sciences. Years three and four build upon earlier years and include specialised topics such as Automotive Safety, Alternative Fuels, Advanced Manufacturing, Advanced Materials and Joining and Vehicle Emission Control. Engineering students are also required to undertake studies in courses designed to assist them develop the communication skills necessary to work effectively.

As part of the program, 20 students are offered the opportunity to be involved in the Formula SAE racing car design, build and drive competition as their fourth year project. Students who are lucky enough to be involved in this project gain important skills, which are highly valued by the automotive industry.
