Automotive Engineering

The aim of the program is designing automotive systems with an interdisciplinary knowledge of engineering that deals with the automotive sector and its problems. The application areas of automotive engineering are quite wide such as design, automotive production design, assembly, robotic systems and so on. The aim is to inform the engineers who are studying automotive engineering about automotive technologies, production processes and materials, available and alternative fuels, safety systems, and the interaction of automotive technologies and the environment. The program is based on lectures, large assignments, simulations and experiments, and these are carried out as real case studies, or using other similar methods. To graduate from the Automotive Engineering, students must complete a total of 147 credits and complete two internships, where each cannot be less than 30 working days at the second semester of their second and third year of studies. A sound understanding of the principles of basic sciences is essential to the study of automotive engineering. It is essential for the students to be well versed in mathematics and physics. The first 2 years mainly are common for all the departments. In junior year, students take the core courses of the automotive engineering. In the senior year there is a wide range of technical elective courses, which enable students to specialize further in their particular field of interest. The core courses aim to establish a firm general knowledge in all fields of Automotive Engineering. The courses are distributed in eight semesters through four academic years including graduation project and summer trainings. The balanced, integrated curriculum provides an education, which is strong both in the fundamentals and in state-of-the-art knowledge, appropriate for immediate professional practice as well as graduate study and lifelong learning.
