About this course
Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering / Automotive Engineering is a mechanical engineering degree centred on vehicle design, manufacturing, and automotive systems. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Control Systems, Data Analysis, Mathematical Modelling, Accounting, and Engineering Design. Students undertake practical work in design workshops and studios, participate in the annual Engineering Design Show, and can join a Formula Student team to design, build, and race a car. The first year covers core engineering foundations through compulsory modules such as An Introduction to Engineering Design, Data Science and Computing for Engineers, Mechanical Systems Analysis, and ThermoFluids. The second year advances these principles with Electronics and Control, Engineering Management and Law, Mechanics, Machines and Vibration, and Systems Design and Computing. The third year deepens professional training through Automotive Chassis and Powertrain, Automotive Mechatronics, Finite Element Analysis in Solid Mechanics, and an Individual Project. The final year combines advanced core studies like Advanced Electrical Systems, Automotive Propulsion, and a Group Design Project with optional modules covering areas such as Applications of CFD, Control and Instrumentation, Intelligent Mobile Robotics, and Tribology for Future Mobility.
