The course basically covers suspension design from basics to a level where you should be fairly confident.
Computer stuff is mainly CAD (design) ,FEA (testing for stresses and fatigue) and CFD (design/analysis of manifolds etc)
Alot of time is spent on engine management starting with basics again K Jetronic etc
to on board diagnostics.
There is a big focus on engine design and calibration (mapping) for emissions and engine simulation.
Also lots more, I could spend the rest of the day listing bits lol but feel free to ask any questions.
I have had friends start straight from uni into the good companies, Ford, Prodrive, Mahle, Cosworth but you will have to work to get into them it is not a media course
I really enjoy it though thats the main thing.
That sounds too good to be true!! Cheers for the info, i'll be asking more questions im sure
Do you do any practical work at all? Like fab work? No probs if not, i wanna learn how to weld properly anyway, would be awesome to design something then actually build it!! But as part of a uni course would be tops!!
