Sustainable Automotive Engineering University of Sussex

Overview

About Sustainable Automotive Engineering at  University of Sussex

• Car manufacturers and suppliers are considering how to implement sustainable processes in the development and manufacture of new vehicles.
• At Sussex, we cover many aspects of sustainable automotive engineering. On this course, you’ll:
• gain fundamental engineering knowledge including materials, manufacturing processes, mechanics and electrical circuits
• learn CAD modelling, programming and numerical modelling
• explore low-emission vehicle propulsion, new-generation vehicle technology, electrical drive systems and vehicle dynamics.
• Our research feeds directly into our teaching. You’ll benefit from our work in the Dynamics, Control, and Vehicle research group. Research projects include automotive on-board diagnostics systems, intelligent controllers and autonomous vehicles.
• You’ll study in our Future Technologies Labs that incorporate computer suites and new automation/robotics facilities. There’s also a dedicated manufacturing lab with facilities such as CNC machines and 3-D printers. In our Formula Student projects, you’ll get the chance to be part of a team to design and build an electric single-seat racing car and enter it into a competition.
• During your time at Sussex, you’ll be supported by dedicated academic advisers, as well as a team of student mentors. In addition, you’ll benefit from our links to world-leading automotive companies. As a graduate, you’ll have the knowledge and skills to meet the challenges and changes in the automotive industry, including those related to sustainability.
