Bachelor of Engineering (Automotive) with Bachelor of Mathematical and Computer Sciences
BE(Au)/BMa
|
| Location: | North Terrace Campus |
| Duration: | 5 years
(full-time or
part-time equivalent)
|
| Degree/Award: | Double Degree |
This double degree program is specifically aimed at students wishing to pursue careers in the automotive and mathematical and computer sciences industry. This program will enable students to develop a thorough understanding of mechanical and automotive engineering principles, combined with the flexibility to aquire knowledge in applied mathematics, statistics and computer science.
Based on the Mechanical Engineering program, 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, Automotive Power Train & Vehicle Dynamics, Automotive Combustion Technology, Automotive NVH & Aerodynamics, Automotive Electrical & Electronic Systems, 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.
Students may choose to combine Automotive Engineering with Mathematical and Computer Sciences as it will strengthen their skills in mathematics, statistics and computing. Combining this engineering program with a strong mathematics program such as this, will provide an opportunity for future research and enhanced employment prospects.
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.
