About Bachelor of Science - Mechanical Engineering - Automotive Engineering Option (Co-op)
Program Description
Modern automotive engineering entails the design of engines and automotive components such as braking, powertrain systems, vehicle dynamics, lighting systems, transmission, and fuel economy. The automotive engineering option offers specialized advanced electives that provide a comprehensive understanding of automotive design and manufacturing, vehicle power plants, dynamics, control systems, and more. This option is part of the mechanical engineering BS degree.
The automotive engineering option begins with a course sequence that starts in the third year of the mechanical engineering program. This ensures that students have developed the foundational mechanical engineering skills needed for specialization in more advanced course work that focuses on the principles and dynamics of automotive engineering. Automotive engineering courses include an introductory course (Contemporary Issues in Automotive Engineering) followed by courses in areas such as strength of materials, thermodynamics, internal combustion engines, powertrain systems and design, vehicle dynamics, manufacturing processes, and sustainable energy for transportation.
Accelerated dual degree options are for undergraduate students with outstanding academic records. Upon acceptance, well-qualified undergraduate students can begin graduate study before completing their BS degree, shortening the time it takes to earn both degrees. Students should consult an academic adviser for more information.
