Automotive Engineering B.Eng.

The automotive industry is the engine of the German economy. With its innovative strength, it constantly faces new challenges from the market and society and responds with better products and processes. A job for vehicle technicians. Because they keep an eye on ecological, economic and safety requirements. Whether new_CO2-reduced drives, e-mobility or automated driving: There are forward-looking topics on the agenda of modern car manufacturers - and we are preparing the specialists of tomorrow for them.

The compulsory modules of the Bachelor's degree course in Automotive Engineering cover exciting topics such as applied measurement technology, vehicle superstructures and lightweight construction, the basics of design and production technology as well as engineering and technical mathematics. In elective modules, we also teach our students the basics of important areas such as brake and engine technology, electromobility, battery technology and truck technology.

Sounds good? We think so too. Because our subject is immensely varied. That's why it's important to us to prepare future engineers in vehicle technology for the major tasks of the automotive industry. After all, they will be the innovative driving forces of tomorrow in vehicle technology disciplines such as body, drive and chassis - and we are already training them for this today.

The Bachelor's degree course in Automotive Engineering deals with the following questions, among others:

• How digital will the car of tomorrow be?
• How can the vehicle technology areas of body, drive and chassis be sustainably improved?
• How can drives based on fossil resources be further developed in a future-oriented way?
• What does the future of e-mobility and automated driving look like in the context of climate change?
• Which alternative fuels could be used in vehicles alongside fossil fuels?
• What role will vehicle dynamics and driver assistance systems play in the future?

The automotive industry is changing - and this change requires new professionals who can think ahead and implement new vehicle technology. This is why car manufacturers and suppliers are desperately looking for qualified specialists like those we train at htw saar on the Bachelor's degree course in Automotive Engineering. This is because we have taught them how to systematically approach complex tasks for the overall vehicle system. A skill that is needed in product development and application, simulation or project management like never before.

Wherever our graduates are employed, exciting tasks await them. They continue to develop petrol and diesel engines, think ahead with electric and hybrid vehicles, perfect lightweight construction methods, set new standards in driver-vehicle-environment communication and give new impetus to autonomous driving. They can also take on tasks in related areas such as customer support, technical documentation and marketing.

In addition, our graduates can work at technical testing bodies such as TÜV or DEKRA, remain in the university landscape as academics and thus in research or pursue a Master's degree in Engineering and Management. There they deepen and expand the knowledge they have acquired in order to lay the foundations for a future management position in a company.
