      Foundation Year Programs in Automotive Engineering

      Because many degrees have prerequisites students have to meet before they can enroll, students sometimes do not qualify for the program they desire. Enrolling in a foundation year is one way students can fulfill these requirements.

      What is a foundation year in automotive engineering? Usually designed to give students fundamental knowledge on all aspects related to automotive engines, such a program can typically help students gain a deeper understanding of how motor vehicles work. Courses typically cover topics such as engine mapping, hybrid vehicles, and vehicle technology. Students may also study engineering design and programming, as well as fundamentals of mathematics.

      A foundation year in automotive engineering can usually instill a set of crucial skills in students. Mechanical and programming skills may enable students to excel in their careers and could potentially lead to higher-paying job options in the future. Problem-solving is critical for allowing students to find and correct issues and is usually equally beneficial for students’ personal endeavors.

      The cost of a foundation year program depends on the school that offers it. Because every university is different when it comes to tuition cost, the price for a foundation year program varies widely.

      With the automotive industry constantly creating new features, students with a background in automotive engineering are in high demand. Many choose to work as design engineers, while others find positions as mechanical technicians. Careers as development and production engineers are also popular options. Students may even elect to work as managers of automotive manufacturing companies.
