Automotive Engineering B.Sc.

Our Bachelor of Science in Automotive Engineering is based firmly on mathematics and physics as fundamental knowledge, also with selected topics of automotive engineering and finally with entrepreneurial training.

The goal of the bachelor is to instruct profesionals with a new creative and positive attitude, so they are capable of generating new solutions for the challenges that are faced everyday in the automotive industry.

The Bachelor course is based on the viewpoint of the German educative system. 

Students who apply for the Bachelor of Science in Automotive Engineering must possess a High School degree (or comparable) and also fulfill the following requirements:

• English Language (TOEFL minimum 480).
• Physics and/or mathematics High School background.
• Minimum High School’s final grade of 80/100.
• Obligation to follow an honest, respectful and responsible behavior.
• Commitment with the education approach of TU-Queretaro.
• Pass the admission exam regarding: skills, background knowledge and English.

The Bachelor course takes 9 semesters from which the last one is for the writing of the Thesis. Additionally an internship, a mini thesis and a social service to the community are compulsory to graduate.

At the moment, the detailed content of the topics are kept confidential. On demand the specifics of the subjects can be discussed personally at the German Institute TU Queretaro.

The theoretical knowledge is supported by internships and thesis offered by collaborating universities and/or companies that maintain a work relationship with the German Institute TU Queretaro. Additionally trainings in vehicular dynamics are offered, as well as CAE (Computer-aided engineering), MBD (Multi-body Dynamics) and CNC (Computerized Numerical Control). These trainings are essential for the understanding of the behavior of machines, mechanisms and components, how to assess its performance and how to improve them. Training is offered by experts in the topic trained in Germany.

Students will be supported and conducted so that their thesis can be used to create a Technical Paper. In this case the collaborative work of several students will be allowed for the creation of their thesis. The involvement of the student in the article will be organized by the academic personal, who will advise the student so the article can be presented in the corresponding international congress.
