Course programme
Both Automative Engineering programmes at Brunel (BEng and MEng) cover the same topics in Levels 1 and 2, allowing students to transfer between them at the end of Level 2. The courses cover the fundamentals of mechanical engineering and design, providing an excellent grounding in key subjects common throughout the mechanical engineering disciplines.
The first two years/levels also provide exposure to other related engineering subjects, such as electrical and electronic engineering, and commercially important topics, such as management and related law.
Further levels progressively introduce a greater degree of specialisation. Strong emphasis is placed upon achieving a good balance between practical and theoretical engineering skills, making best use of the excellent facilities available.
Typical ModulesLevel 1
- Fundamentals of Solid Body Mechanics
- Fundamentals of Thermofluids
- Analytical Methods and Skills
- Engineering Materials, Manufacturing and Electrical Machines
- Introduction to Engineering Design
- Automotive Laboratories, Technical Drawing and Workshop Experience.
Level 2
- Automotive Vehicle Design and Performance
- Solid Body Mechanics
- Thermofluids
- Computing, Analytical Methods, Control and Instrumentation
- Professional Engineering Applications and Practice.
Level 3
- Major Individual Project
- Automotive Structures, Propulsion and Manufacture
- FEA, CFD and Numerical Modelling
- Professional Engineering Practice.
Level 5 (MEng only)
- Major Group Project
- Advanced Vehicle Dynamics, IC Engines, Materials and Manufacturing
- Automotive Team Management and Vehicle Testing
- Strategic Management, Innovation and Enterprise
- Advanced Thermofluids
- Advanced Solid Body Mechanics.
MEng final year project
All final year MEng students participate in a team project of 5-6 people, which develops not only their transferable skills, but also their ability to design, manufacture and test an automotive product, typically aimed at low carbon use. For example, current projects underway include one with UK industry support concerned with the use of mechanical kinetic energy recovery to help eliminate the feel of turbocharger “lag” in future fuel efficient road vehicles.
