COURSE CURRICULUM

The core modules in this engineering program are carefully designed to provide students with a well-rounded education, preparing them to tackle the challenges in transport and automotive systems. The Applied Research and Engineering Practice 1 module focuses on building critical research skills, where students engage in independent research projects, applying appropriate methodologies to interpret findings and produce a dissertation. This process also enhances their time management, critical analysis, and engineering judgment abilities. The Intelligent Transport Systems module introduces students to essential transportation concepts, such as policy, modeling, safety, and the technological, legal, and environmental considerations that shape modern transportation infrastructure. It provides students with the knowledge needed to understand how intelligent systems can influence the future of transportation. The Electrical Automotive Engineering Practice module specifically addresses the growing field of electric vehicles, focusing on electrical powertrain systems, vehicle dynamics, simulation techniques, and subsystem control. It also includes key topics like communication systems and cybersecurity in the context of autonomous vehicles, responding to the needs of the evolving industry. Although details of the Mental Wealth: Professional Life module are yet to be confirmed, its inclusion indicates a focus on developing soft skills and professional competencies alongside technical knowledge. The Industrial Placement module gives students the opportunity to apply their academic learning in a real-world industrial setting. Through activities such as job search, CV and interview preparation, students are guided to secure a placement that aligns with their interests and career goals. This hands-on experience allows students to develop both technical and professional skills, ensuring they are prepared for the demands of the transport and automotive sectors. Together, these modules provide a balanced blend of theoretical knowledge and practical experience, equipping students to become adaptable, forward-thinking engineers.
