BEng (Hons) Automotive Performance Engineering (Motorsport)

The Automotive Performance Engineering (Motorsport) BEng (Hons) is a full-time course offered by the University of Bolton. The course spans over a period of 3 years and is designed to proffer a profound comprehension of the technical principles and practicum that underpin performance automotive, motorsport, and related industries. Students will bask in hands-on experience with modern and industrial-standard equipment alongside an all-inclusive understanding of vehicle design, performance, diagnostics, and failure analysis.Course Content: The course is developed to offer an in-depth learning experience in a variety of key areas. You get to explore fundamental principles and applications of mechanical systems, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and materials technology. There's a journey into deeper aspects of vehicle dynamics, aerodynamics, alternate drive systems, and the latest manufacturing and engineering practices. As part of the content, you're also given the opportunity to complete a major individual project on a subject of your choosing, linked to your studies or an area of interest within automotive performance engineering.Key Modules: Some notable modules you'll work on include: Engineering Mathematics and Workshop Applications, Automotive Mechanical Systems, Engineering Thermodynamics, Fluid Dynamics and Materials, Advanced Vehicle Dynamics and Aerodynamics, Advanced Powertrains and Materials, Advanced CAD/CAM, Alternative Automotive Technologies, Professional Project and Quality Management. Accreditations: This course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). It also fulfills the academic requirements for you to become an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and partially satisfies the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).Future Careers: With this degree, you are equipped for a professional career in a wide range of motor industry disciplines – from racing team researcher or motorsport engineer to performance engine developer. Other potential roles can be in areas like chassis and suspension design, drivetrain development, data acquisition, and aerodynamics.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
