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.
