The Master of Engineering (MEng) in Automotive Engineering program is designed for engineers looking to advance their skills and knowledge in the automotive sector and other related industries. Graduates will be equipped with the expertise to work with advanced automotive technologies and processes. The program offers two options for achieving the objectives: a course-based option or a project-based option. Both paths provide a robust foundation in automotive engineering, with opportunities for exposure to cutting-edge research through course projects.
Program Options: Course-Based vs. Project-Based
Course-Based Option: Deepen Your Automotive Engineering Expertise
The course-based option requires students to complete 10 courses (30 credits), including the essential course ENGR 5300G Automotive Engineering and 4 core courses that are mandatory for all students in the Master of Engineering program. This option is ideal for students seeking to enhance their theoretical and technical knowledge without the requirement of a research project.
Project-Based Option: Apply Your Knowledge to Real-World Challenges
In the project-based option, students complete 8 courses (24 credits) along with a 6-credit master's project. This project provides students the opportunity to synthesize the knowledge they have gained throughout the program and apply it to a specialized area of automotive engineering. The project is tailored to the student’s area of interest and can involve collaboration with industry partners or academic research.
