This honours degree is for those who have a strong interest in mechanical engineering and a clear desire to develop their knowledge and skills in automotive engineering. It has been designed for the automotive industry (regional and national) in response to the shortfall of mechanical engineers. Automotive engineering is a growing sector, many reports show that up to 28,000 new jobs will have to be fulfilled by 2020. 95% of our graduates are in a professional or managerial job with 6 months after the course (Unistats 16) The course explores fully the engineering, design, analysis and development of modern cars using various race cars as support for teaching. It also puts emphasis on learning transferable skills, which are applicable to many other industries. From studying the Foundation Year, learners will be able to develop with knowledge, understanding and skills of Engineering-based disciplines and their applications which help learners prepare for further years of study and success in engineering degree. You can also choose to study this course as a three-year programme (without a foundation year) BEng (Hons) Automotive EngineeringUCAS Code: H431 *Subject to re-accreditation

YEAR 1 (FOUNDATION YEAR) The foundation year will provide a grounding for students in all aspects of Engineering and Design in order to prepare them for further years of study. MODULES • Analytical Methods for Engineering • Design and Technology • Mechanical Science • Electrical and Electronic Science • The Skills You Need • Contextual Studies YEAR 2 (LEVEL 4) The vast majority of the key knowledge is reviewed and expanded at this stage. All lectures are followed by tutorials and practicals/demonstrations to ensure that you have fully assimilated the information. MODULES • Mechanical Science • Electrical Science • Laboratory Methods and Materials • Engineering Mathematics • Introduction to Engineering Design & Practice Plus an optional module from the following: • Performance Car Systems • Mechanical Systems YEAR 3 (LEVEL 5) At this level, the teaching team starts to encourage the students to work and learn by themselves. We are not only preparing you to be a knowledgeable practitioner, we are preparing you to become a reliable and independent problem solver. MODULES • Business & Research Development • Internal Combustion Engine: Theory and Technology • Automotive Design • Further Engineering Mathematics • Engineering and Mechanism Dynamics & Engineering Design • Structures, Failure Analysis & FEA YEAR 4 (LEVEL 6) This is the final year of the Bachelor degree. The first semester is generally focussing on developing the specific automotive knowledge. Your individual project will allow you to specialise further into a field of your choice. At the end of this, you will be a graduate engineer ready for industry! MODULES • Performance Car Chassis, Engines & Powertrain • Vibration Analysis & Structures • Aerodynamics & CFD • Employability & Entrepreneurship • Final year project (individual dissertation) The information listed in this section is an overview of the academic content of the programme that will take the form of either core or option modules. Modules are designated as core or option in accordance with professional body requirements and internal academic framework review, so may be subject to change.

A broad range of assessment methods are used; these include task-based exercises, oral and poster presentations, essays and laboratory reports, and written exams. Each module is assessed by a variety of methods, enabling students to display their full potential. A project dissertation will form one of the final parts of your assessment. Wrexham Glyndŵr University is committed to supporting our students to maximise their academic potential. We offer workshops and support sessions in areas such as academic writing, effective note-making and preparing for assignments. Students can book appointments with academic skills tutors dedicated to helping deal with the practicalities of university work. Our student support section has more information on the help available. Teaching methods include lectures, laboratory sessions, student-led seminars and guided research. Independent learning is an important aspect of all modules, as it enables students to develop both their subject specific and key skills. Independent learning is promoted through guided study or feedback given to students.
