Programme summary

1. Programme Aims

• To supply the automotive industries with postgraduates having a good grounding in relevant engineering principles and the subsequent practical application to relevant product design.
• To provide a broad-based and sound education in advanced topics of relevance to automotive engineering via in-depth study and an understanding of selected engineering science topics and the application of fundamental principles to the design and development of engineering products and systems.

2. Relevant subject benchmark statements and other external reference points used to inform programme outcomes:

• QAA Benchmark statements for Engineering
• QAA for Framework for Higher Education Qualifications (FHEQ)
• EC (UK) Specification for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC)
• I.Mech.E Educational Base

3. Programme Learning Outcomes

3.1 Knowledge and Understanding

On successful completion of the programme, students should be able to demonstrate

• a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the scientific principles underpinning Automotive Engineering
• a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of theoretical methods and their use for modelling, analysis and design in Automotive Engineering
• an extensive knowledge and understanding of the concepts, principles, theories and current practice in automotiveproduct development and the limitations of such concepts, including a critical awareness of current issues and future prospects at the forefront of the discipline.

3.2 Skills and other attributes

a. Subject-specific cognitive skills:

On successful completion of the programme, students should be able to

• integrate knowledge in the automotive field using mathematics, science, information technology, design and engineering practice
• model and analyse complex automotive systems using appropriate concepts, scientific principles, mathematical methods, while recognising the limistations of such analysis
• innovate in solving novel and challenging problems and be aware of the limitations of the solutions.

b. Subject-specific practical skills:

On successful completion of the programme, students should be able to demonstrate the practical skills of

• applying modelling techniques and software to engineering problems
• conducting and analysing experiments, adapting experimental procedures to novel situations if necessary, analysing experimental data in detail, and drawing comprehensive conclusions
• independent planning and execution of projects which relate to Automotive Engineering.

c. Key transferable skills:

On successful completion of the programme, students should be able to

• communicate effectively
• generate and analyse data to solve complex engineering problems
• optimise use of resources and time in project planning and implementation
• learn independently and be familiar with how to access key information
• sort, manipulate and present data in a way which facilitates effective analysis and decision making
• critically appraise engineering problems.
