Program Description
The Master of Science degree in Automotive Engineering (AuE MS) prepares a new generation of engineers to deal with the complex technological, environmental and globalization issues facing the automobile industry.
The big challenge facing the industry is the integration of diverse technologies in the automobile and its cost effective and environmentally responsible manufacture, all being done in a global network with people of different backgrounds and cultures. The Automotive Engineering programs equip students with the basis, depth and domain knowledge needed for master’s and doctoral-level expertise in systems integration and vehicle systems engineering and the ability to work globally. Graduates of the program are able to lead teams of culturally diverse individuals to produce an integrated automobile platform or to work in research laboratories involved with the design of new products in the automotive field. While the program is geared toward the automobile industry, it produces strong linkages with the aerospace and other industries within the state, region and nation as some of the challenges faced by the automotive industry are also faced in other sectors.
The Automotive Engineering MS program is delivered both in-person and online.
Summary of Degree Requirements
The Automotive Engineering MS degree requires 33 credits of graduate work and an internship lasting at least six months in either industry or with the Deep Orange project. In lieu of internships, students may choose to conduct MS thesis research for a minimum of six credits (AUE 8910 ). The breakdown of the requirements for the three options are given in the table below.
