About this course

Automotive engineering is the discipline concerned with the design, development, manufacturing, and performance of vehicles. It draws on mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, materials science, thermodynamics, aerodynamics, and electronics, and has evolved dramatically in recent decades as vehicles have become increasingly sophisticated systems integrating advanced software, electrification, autonomous technologies, and connectivity. The automotive industry is undergoing one of its most significant transformations in over a century, making this a discipline where engineering expertise meets rapid technological change.
