Description

The automotive industry is fast-moving with new technologies. The traditional car has been developed into a controlled high-tech system full of mechanics, electronics, sensors and informatics. The increase in vehicle intelligence has led to a vast demand for highly educated engineers able to think on system level, to work in a variety of disciplines and to observe the complete system rather than a collection of components. This program teaches students to observe the car as a system. It offers in-depth knowledge about essential parts of a vehicle, e.g. dynamics, real-time software, electric powertrains, and human-machine interaction. The program gives an outstanding starting point for a successful career. Eighty percent of the Dutch automotive industry is located in the region of Brainport Eindhoven. The Automotive Technology educational program includes generic core courses, elective courses and project assignments. The program is built around two specializations: Smart Mobility and Sustainable Mobility. The second year consists of an internship and a graduation project.
