Automotive Engineering with Motorsport BEng (Hons)
About the course
Motorsport is the proving ground for future technology in the automotive industry. As such this course has much in common with the MEng / BEng in Automotive Engineering but with a particular emphasis on improving vehicle handling and vehicle performance. A highly successful track record in the IMechE Formula student competition has established the University as one of the providers of Motorsport engineering in the country.
In your first year you gain a broad grounding in engineering with themes of design, manufacture, business, engineering mathematics and engineering science. You are also introduced to fundamentals of vehicle components and systems covering engines, powertrain, body, steering and suspension.
In your second year you extend your knowledge of first year core topics, as they are applied in automotive engineering. This includes studying vehicle design, and the factors that influence it, together with vehicle aerodynamics using wind tunnel testing. You will learn more about the design process through both group design and detail design work. There is also the opportunity to be involved with the Class 200 Formula Student car, where you will work on developing the previous year's Formula Student entry.
In your final year you will develop good team-working skills as you develop the specialist skills and knowledge of a motorsport engineer. You may choose to represent the University as a member of the Formula Student team, or to concentrate on the Individual Major Project as you research how to apply new technology to a vehicle.
