Automotive and Vehicle Technology |
Biotechnology | Process Automation |
The Automotive and Vehicle Technology program is designed to provide students with the skills and theoretical foundation for the design and manufacturing of automotive and vehicle components and systems. Students will learn about the design, operation and manufacturing of advanced combustion engines, hybrid cars and vehicles, and alternative fuel vehicles. They will also learn about the car of the future with no engine, no gasoline, no steering wheel, and no exhaust.
The field of automotive vehicle technology is evolving rapidly and the need for graduates with the proper set of skills is increasing daily. To meet these challenges this program is designed to provide theoretical foundations and “hand-on” experience in advanced CAD for vehicle component and system design, virtual vehicle prototyping and use of simulation tools, vehicle safety designs, mechatronics and advanced electronic control systems including vehicle communication buses, selection of advanced materials for automotive applications, and manufacturing processes and systems.
Graduates will be prepared to work in automotive industry to carry out activities related to the development of new automotive products and revision of existing ones, collaborate in research and development projects for finding solution to automotive engineering problems, production planning and designing new production processes. Other tasks the graduates could be involved in conducting and developing test procedures.
