General description of degree program

Name of degree program: Automotive Engineering

Degree awarded: Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.)

Option of taking the Franco-German study program in cooperation with ENSMM Besançon: The semester spent abroad at the partner

university as part of the master's degree in Mechanical Engineering &

Mechatronics is recognized towards a dual degree (M.Sc. from HsKA and Ingénieur diplômé from ENSMM)

Specialization: Student can choose to specialize in automotive electronics or automotive powertrain from 4^th semester onwards.

Educational and professional goals:

The study program deals with current technologies in mechatronic systems in vehicles. Automotive Engineering demands an inter- disciplinary way of thinking and working that combines classic

engineering disciplines. In addition to subject-specific skills, the course also teaches soft skills such as communication, cultivating team spirit, and creativity, all of which are practiced in project work.

The course content, aimed at preparing students for the professional world, is based on information sources including personal contacts professors and students maintain with industry, employing external teachers from industry, evaluating findings from professional associations, and other significant research.

Job description: One in seven jobs is directly or indirectly related to the construction of vehicles. Especially in Baden-Württemberg, a large number of vehicle manufacturers and suppliers are located. The job prospects of graduates in automotive engineering are therefore excellent. Through the study, the graduates receive a broadband training.

In Automotive engineering, which can also be taken as a German- French-Program, automotive electronics is tradition, with its focus on the mechatronic systems. Since the merger with the mechanical engineering the specialization powertrain is also offered.

Program duration: 7 semesters or 7x30 = 210 ECTS Pre-study work experience: 12 weeks

Conditions of admission: General or subject-specific university entrance qualification or comparable entrance qualification.

Ranking is created using the university entrance qualification grade and weighted grades for the individual subjects of mathematics, German (or appropriate language for a foreign entrance qualification), English, physics or other technical subject or subject belonging to the natural sciences. Bonus points are awarded for a vocational

qualification.

For students from abroad: proof of satisfactory knowledge of German.

Voluntary assessment

Traineeship semester: 5^th semester is traineeship semester

Start of program: In summer semester and in winter semester

Application deadline: 15 January for application into summer semester 15 July for application into winter semester Language of instruction: German

The applicant should: Be interested in technology, have good averages in the school

subjects mathematics, German (or mother tongue), English, physics or chemistry, as bonus points are given for these subjects in the

application process
