This course is for those who want to become design engineers in the Automotive industry, to undertake the challenges of modern vehicle design and work in industry as part of teams generating the next phase of road vehicles. As such the course consists of all the necessary elements to ensure its graduates are prepared for the various roles of the modern automotive engineer. Modern production technologies and conceptual design feature highly to promote an innovative design ethos, which will go towards fulfilling the increasingly regulated world of global vehicle design along with an understanding of legal requirements. Fuel efficiency is an area of increasing scrutiny in the consideration of new vehicles and can be achieved by a number of factors, including conceptual engine design, use of hybrid and renewable energies and the streamlining of vehicle aerodynamics, all of which feature heavily on this new bespoke course, designed to meet current and future needs.

About this course
All of our degrees have a common first year, allowing you to experience a range of subjects before deciding on the course you wish to follow. You will study Mathematics, and the underlying concepts of Electrical, Mechanical, Materials, and Production Engineering. You will undertake laboratory work; and utilise your new production knowledge to build and test a design.
In the second year you will extend your knowledge of automotive subjects including Control Systems, Thermodynamics and Fluids, Mechanics including vibration and stress analysis; create design specifications, and become proficient in the use of a 3D CAD package. You will also study Engineering Management and learn the role and responsibilities of a professional engineer.
Following the second academic year, you are encouraged to undertake a placement in industry, improving your employment prospects and forming part of your professional development as a Chartered Engineer.
In your third year you will complete an individual project, extend your specialist automotive knowledge, and learn how to convert an idea into a commercial venture.
In your final year you will learn subjects including advanced Automotive Systems, and Finite Element Analysis. You will apply these as part of a team engaged in a complex group project.

Type: Core
Locations: University Telford Campus
To provide the concepts to underpin the discipline of Mathematics and enable students to model and analyse engineering systems, generate numerical values for system parameters, manipulate data to find system responses under defined conditions, evaluate the effects on systems of changes in variables and communicate ideas and results mathematically.
Module: 4MA008
Credits: 20
Period: 1
Type: Core
Locations: University Telford Campus
This module will investigate the principles which underpin the science of engineering systems. Covering both mechanical and electrical principles it will provide the basis for further study in specialist areas.
Module: 4MA029
Credits: 20
Period: 1
Type: Core
Locations: University Telford Campus
To introduce students to the fundamental skills, practices and attitudes of professional engineers through a series of graded active group learning experiences involving experimental testing, design and build, problem solving and investigation
Module: 5MA044
Credits: 20
Period: 2
Type: Core
Locations: University Telford Campus
To provide students with an in-depth understanding of the principles and practice of instrumentation and control systems and develop learners understanding of time and frequency domain, analysis of process control systems and the use of controller designs to achieve specified system performance.
Module: 5MA034
Credits: 20
Period: 2
Type: Core
Locations: University Telford Campus
Develop an understanding of the basic principles, cycles, systems and laws of thermodynamics and their application to engineering thermodynamic systems; in conjunction with the reasoning ability and practical skills required of the modern engineer.
Module: 5MA038
Credits: 40
Period: 2
Type: Core
Locations: University Telford Campus
To provide students with practical experience of translating engineering design theory into practice by way of setting a realistic industrial problem to be solved by product design and manufacture. To develop skills to enable students to create a simple concept design, with appropriate justification and documentation, to build and test a working prototype. To report on the proposed manufacture of the product using current engineering practices, whilst ensuring economic viability and environmental sustainability.
Module: 5MA037
Credits: 20
Period: 2
Type: Core
Locations: University Telford Campus
To relate the structure of engineering materials to their properties and understand how this will affect them in service. To link the properties of materials to processing and manufacturing methods and analyse the optimum combinations for the task in hand. Utilise analytical methods to determine key factors of materials related to in service components and structures and there production methodologies. Analyse in service behaviour, types and levels of stress, loads and failure modes. To provide a link to design, analysis, experimentation and decision making.
Module: 5MA036
Credits: 20
Period: 2
Type: Core
Locations: University Telford Campus
This module aims to develop knowledge and understanding of the theory and application of the solid mechanics principles; and to apply the mathematical and computational Finite Element Analysis (FEA) techniques for design and analysis of structural members under different types of loading.
Module: 6MA042
Credits: 20
Period: 3
Type: Core
Locations: University Telford Campus
This module is designed to cover all aspects of the modern vehicle and its electrification. This will include the use of computers as an aid for solving problems within these systems. While the primary focus is upon the technical elements of the electronics within a modern vehicle, consideration must also be given to the placement in switch gear and interface assemblies.
