Automotive Engineering

The ever-increasing requirements of individual high quality mobility and transportation of people and goods make the automotive industry a necessity in our society. Global warming and environmental challenges push for innovations from a holistic view as well as the need for vehicle manufacturers to meet new customer demands, safety legislation and the pressure to produce vehicles at the lowest possible cost.

Therefore, the need of skilled Automotive Engineers is immense.

The aim of the Automotive Engineering programme (AE) is to prepare students for a professional career with a broad knowledge of automotive engineering while offering specialisations central to the industry and research to meet these requirements.
 

Programme

The AE programme comprises a block of basic automotive courses which are compulsory for all students. The learning objective of these courses is to provide an automotive engineering knowledge platform from which the students can immerse themselves more deeply in a specialisation, be a part of an automotive project or choose to study courses from linked master programmes, all depending on interest.

The AE-programme should provide the students with potential to develop enhanced skills for analysis, synthesis and management of the automotive development process.

After completion of the AE programme the student will be able to:

• identify and discuss vehicles as complex systems from a technical and a social perspective through a broad platform in automotive engineering.
• analyse new technical challenges and to create technical advancements in the automotive industry by three specialisations; Powertrain, Vehicle Dynamics or Safety.
• synthesize and evaluate automotive systems and products in terms of direct use and lifecycle analysis through consideration of environmental and economic aspects.
• through applications and practice
  • utilize automotive related IT- and product development tools.
  • demonstrate skills necessary for managing and contributing to team-based engineering activities and projects in a multi-cultural environment.
