This course develops core problem-solving abilities and the technical, financial and management skills associated with manufacturing industries in general, and the motorsports industry in particular. Students gain a solid understanding of the design, simulation and fabrication processes, and the management issues associated with production of the complex automotive systems and the components that underpin the motorsport industry. The course provides a stimulating and supportive learning environment, with an enthusiastic and articulate approach which reflects the culture of motorsports. Students have the opportunity to further develop competencies through the provision of extra-curricular activities, to help progression into the motorsports industry.
This course information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester. In particular please check the course requirements and the unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.
Students are required to undertake a minimum of 8 weeks practical work experience in an engineering technology industry environment. This will normally be undertaken during a vacation period.
This course has been Accredited by: Engineers Australia.
Academic admission standard for the following entry pathways:
It is desirable that all applicants have Physics ATAR and Mathematics: Methods ATAR, with equivalents considered. Alternatively applicants can complete bridging units during the first year of their studies if they have not passed Physics ATAR or Mathematics: Methods ATAR.
Requirements from 01-JAN-2017: It is desirable that all applicants have passed Mathematics: Methods ATAR, with equivalents considered, and Physics ATAR or Engineering Studies ATAR, with equivalents considered. Alternatively applicants can complete bridging units during the first year of their studies, if required, if students have not passed one or more of these subjects.
Bunbury applicants please note: There is an option to study up to eight foundation units from this degree at ECU's South West (Bunbury) campus, which may include attending a short set of lab sessions at Joondalup campus by the end of each semester, depending on the units studied. After completing these eight units, Bunbury students will need to attend ECU's Joondalup campus to complete the rest of their course.
