Bachelor Automotive Technology

The Bachelor Automotive Technology program is a three-year program that consists of a major, core subjects, electives, and USE subjects.

General

A bachelor's degree at TU/e is three years and consists of a major, core subjects, electives, and USE subjects. Each academic year consists of four quarters. You take three courses per quarter. The study load is 40 hours a week. Each subject has 6 to 8 contact hours a week.

Core Subjects

In addition to your major, you take a number of core subjects, including mathematics and natural sciences, and learn technical design in a multidisciplinary team. You develop your professional skills, such as collaborating and organizing. These subjects provide the solid foundation you need as an engineer.

Electives

A quarter of your bachelor's program consists of electives. With electives, you can customize your program. For instance, you can choose to broaden your knowledge or to specialize in a specific track. You can also participate in various group projects.

ITEC: Impact of Technology

As a Bachelor student, you need to be aware of and have learned how to rigorously assess the impact of technology on people and society, and integrate user, society, and enterprise considerations in the engineering design and/or research process, with an ethical attitude.

Final Bachelor's Project

The Final Bachelor's Project (BEP) is the final project of the major Automotive Technology. In this individual project, you get started with a technology-related issue. You compose a research question and use the knowledge you gained from various disciplines to collect and analyze data. Finally, you attempt to answer your research question.

Teacher Coach

When choosing your subjects and packages, a teacher from your major is there to coach you. Your teacher coach will help you to reflect on your expectations, future perspective, successes, and obstacles you may encounter. He or she helps you to find the optimal match between your ambitions and the design of your program. The final choice is entirely up to you, but your coach can help in making the right choice.

Student Mentor

In addition to a teacher coach, you will also have a student mentor. You will meet with him or her mostly in the first semester (the first and second quarter). Your student mentor helps with practical matters that you may encounter during your studies.

Challenge-Based Learning

At TU/e, we work challenge-based. This means that, during your education, you will work on several challenges that occur in the world around us. For example: How do we ensure clean, affordable energy? Sufficient housing and food for all? And how can we age healthy as life expectancy increases? You will search for solutions for specific challenges within these themes, together with your fellow students and a professor. Sometimes with students from your own major, sometimes with students from different majors. For this, you will receive different types of education: inspiring lectures, small-scale instructional meetings, and guided self-study. In addition, you will actively seek additional knowledge.
