Program Description
The Automotive Engineering program gives students a firm basis in the areas of the design, development, operation, and optimization of modern automotive systems. The whole program includes not only civil engineering but also advanced technological knowledge, which allows the students to comprehend the whole lifecycle of the cars—from conceptual design and prototyping to manufacturing, diagnostics, safety assessment, and sustainable operation.
The students get a thorough theoretical grounding in mechanics, materials science, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, electronics, and control systems. These basic sciences are closely related but with a different approach, among others in the automobile field. The areas of study include internal combustion engines, electric and hybrid propulsion systems, vehicle dynamics, powertrain systems, onboard diagnostics, and automotive electronics.
The training is focused mainly on the industry, so students will benefit a lot from practical projects, simulation tools, virtual prototyping, and laboratory experience. By means of internships and cooperation with companies within the transportation, automotive service, and manufacturing plant industries and research laboratories, students acquire their professional skills and engineering competencies that correspond to the real world. Among the topics covered are intelligent transportation systems, safety engineering, emission reduction technologies, urban mobility solutions, and sustainable automotive development. Thus, the program prepares graduates for the future trends of smart mobility and green transportation. At the end of the program, the students will have the knowledge to work in various fields such as automotive design, vehicle testing, transport safety, maintenance engineering, manufacturing technologies, and transportation infrastructure. They will be ready to be part of engineering teams in car companies, logistic firms, transport agencies, technical repair organizations, R&D centers, and innovation-oriented industries.
Key Learning Outcomes
Graduates will be able to:
- Apply fundamental engineering principles to analyze and design automotive components and systems.
- Evaluate vehicle dynamics, performance, safety, and environmental impact.
- Use modern diagnostic tools, simulation software, and digital engineering technologies.
- Develop innovative solutions to improve vehicle reliability, efficiency, and sustainability.
- Understand intelligent control systems, automation, and smart vehicle technologies.
- Conduct engineering research, interpret technical data, and prepare professional documentation.
