Location of University of Bath
This programme is aimed at engineering graudates who wish to work in the automotive industry, with particular focus on the design, performance and operation of automotive power trains and vehicle systems. The programme produces graduates with the technical and managerial skills and expertise that are highly sought after by the automotive industry.
Learning outcomes
By studying our MSc in Automotive Engineering you will:
Understand the vehicle design process and the operation and performance of important sub-systems
Analyse current and projected future environmental legislation and the impact this has on the design, operation and performance of automotive powertrain systems
Analyse in detail the operation and performance indicators of transmission systems, internal combustion engines and after treatment devices.
Collaborative working
The programme includes traditionally taught subject-specific units and business and group-orientated modular work. These offer you the chance to gain experience in design, project management and creativity, while working with students from other subjects.
Contents
Semester 1 (October-January)
* The first semester of the Programme allows students to choose from a range of fundamental and more advanced lecture courses covering the analysis methods and modelling techniques that are used in the simulation, design and manufacture of modern vehicles and powertrains.
* Five taught units (three compulsory and two options)
* Includes coursework involving laboratory or small project sessions
* Typically each unit consists of 22 hours of lectures, may involve a number of hours of tutorials/exercises and laboratory activity and approximately 70 hours of private study (report writing, laboratory results processing and revision for examinations)
Semester 2 (February-May)
* The second semester provides an introduction to research methods and the planning and scoping of research projects.
* Individual Project preliminary work
* Group projects in which students work in a multi-disciplinary team to solve a conceptual design problem, just as an industrial design team would operate
* Management/Research modules, studied jointly with Management and Innovation students in the Bath School of Management and Engineering Doctorate students based in industry
* The semester aims to develop your professional understanding of engineering in a business environment and is taught by academic staff with extensive experience in industry
Summer/Dissertation Period (June-September)
The full time summer project gives students the opportunity to develop their understanding of aspects of the automotive material covered in the first semester, through a detailed study related to the research interests and specialisations of a member of the academic staff. The students will often be working as part of a larger group of researchers including postgraduates, research officers and undergraduates and as such have access to the state of the art automotive test facilities within the department.
Individual project leading to MSc dissertation
Depending on the chosen area of interest, the individual project may involve theoretical and/or experimental activities; for both such activities students can use the department computer suites and well-equipped and newly refurbished laboratories for experimental work. The individual projects are generally carried out under the supervision of a member of academic staff. A number of industrially-based projects are available to students
