Course summary

**Please note that the information provided relates to the current academic year and is subject to change without notice by Sheffield Hallam University. Please check the Sheffield Hallam University website for the latest information.** Course summary:

  • Gain a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of engineering principles and theories.
  • Enhance your ability to design, model, simulate and manufacture innovative automotive products.
  • Benefit from rigorous intellectual training that explores current developments.
  • Develop specialist skills required for a successful career in automotive industries.
Become a competent engineer with the underpinning knowledge of science, physics, maths and technology – as well as the ability to apply your knowledge to automotive systems. The subjects covered on the course meet the Engineering Council Benchmarks and the requirements for accreditation with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Please follow us on Twitter or Instagram to keep up to date on all things Engineering at Sheffield Hallam. How you learn: All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive. The course is constructed under the following four threads – thermos-fluids, solid mechanics, design and engineering practice and materials and manufacture. You’ll develop your knowledge, understanding and skills through progressive and interdisciplinary approaches. We use practical laboratories and computer simulations to enhance your learning – including lab experiments designed to reinforce your learning of theoretical concepts. You learn through:
  • lectures
  • tutorials
  • seminars
  • engineering workshops
  • laboratories
  • group work
Applied learning - Work placements You’ll have the opportunity to arrange a year-long work placement in between your second and third years. This gives you a real-world experience to prepare you for your future career. Although optional (and competitive), a placement is actively encouraged to improve your employability at the end of your degree significantly. Live projects As you progress through the course you're encouraged to take an increasingly strategic approach – ultimately managing real projects, mentoring students from lower levels or contributing to a team project. Competitions You may participate in a range of extracurricular activities and competitions such as the IMechE Formula Student competition, the IMechE Unmanned Aircraft Systems Challenge competition and the Engineers Without Borders challenge.
