International Automotive Engineering (MEng)

About

The increasing use of electronics in drive, in chassis, and in equipment of modern automobiles as well as the replacement of whole subsystems by technologies such as X-by-wire are important milestones in the automotive industry. The vehicles of tomorrow will be different. Take the higher voltage electrical and electronics systems for example. A 42 volt battery in place of today's 12V system is one change that is coming. Digital wiring harnesses are another. Therefore, there is a demand for new skills in design and development. Engineers who have solid knowledge in the interface between mechanics, electronics, and computer engineering will be sought after. The Master's programme in International Automotive Engineering provides an opportunity for students to gain a deep understanding in those engineering disciplines upon which the life cycle of the production automobile is based. The programme is conceived so as to offer a focused graduate course of study covering manifold aspects of automotive engineering. These aspects range from the potential of control units used in automobiles to driver assistance systems. The theoretical foundations of industrial practice and practical applications of the theory of automotive electronics, and control theory, development methodologies, etc. will be presented in a well-balanced fashion. Furthermore, the rapid increase in the amount of economic activity taking place across national boundaries has changed the job requirements of engineers. Particularly in the automotive industry, employees who are familiar with methods of communication and cooperation in international teams and who have learnt to gain access to foreign cultures are in demand. Therefore, due to the multicultural composition of the trainee group, the language of instruction is English. The Master's programme addresses qualified and dedicated students from all countries with an undergraduate degree in an engineering discipline or in computer science. The programme particularly addresses students who want to take on responsibility for tasks in development, organisation, and management in the automotive industry.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in an engineering discipline or in computer science Applications are evaluated in an internal selection procedure. We evaluate how well an applicant fits to the programme. The procedure is carried out using documents provided by the applicant. There is no interview. Experience in specific subjects (e.g., control engineering) can be gained by way of professional jobs, suitable internships, a Bachelor's thesis, and other project work: knowledge in the fields of vehicle technology, control engineering, signal processing, sensor/actuators technology, simulation of mechatronic systems, electronics, power electronics, microcomputer technology, programming practical experience (comparable to an internship semester) in the field of design or testing of mechatronic systems for vehicles project work with thematic reference to vehicles, which requires knowledge of the areas of construction or design of mechatronic vehicle components, control technology, electronics, power electronics, modelling&simulation, control devices and their programming final thesis of Bachelor's degree with thematic reference to vehicles, which was prepared independently and according to engineering-scientific principles
