Automotive Mechatronics MSc This course is suitable for engineering, science, mathematics and computing graduates This course is responding to increasing alongside experienced engineers who are industry demand for engineers with the skills interested in a career in the automotive or to deliver multidisciplinary integration of intelligent mobility sectors. Group projects The projects which you will see presented today are a culmination of work which prepares students for an industry working environment. They will show how to market the product, demonstrate the technical expertise and showcase the group communication skills they have honed over the past few months. 5 Contents page: Automotive Engineering MSc • Team one • Team two • Team three • Team four Automotive Mechatronic MSc • Team one • Team two Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Engineering (Automotive) MSc • Group design • Group verification and validation 6 Automotive Engineering Through the University's master's degree in Automotive Engineering, students are not only exposed to high-class teaching, but also to industry practitioners who are at the cutting edge of vehicle technology. This, combined with Cranfield’s facilities, prepares students for roles within the industry where they can make a real difference from day one. The group design project (GDP) enables students to showcase their skills following the taught modules. The GDP is a substantial piece of work that essentially is a whole vehicle design and this year, it involves groups of typically 12 students who are carefully selected to provide a range of skill sets within each group. Enclosed are the CV’s of the individual group members, please take time to browse them. As I believe they are an exceptional cohort this year. You can find their contact details within their CV. Thank you for your continued support.

As a group, students will provide a concept for two of the segments above which will be presented to the CMC board of directors where approval for one of the concepts will be given before proceeding with the final design. Each concept must have a different unique technical aspect which will set it apart from its marketplace competitors. For the design concepts the teams must consider the UK legislation for 2030 as the cut off for the sale of gasoline and diesel fuelled vehicles. Certain hybrid vehicles are allowed. The concept presentations should include: • CMC Corporate Identity (a readily identifiable corporate shape or feature), • Likely powertrain and powertrain architecture layout, • Projection of likely performance (should be in-line with segment), • Innovative/novel concept, • A high proportion of recyclability. (End of life directive), • High-level total vehicle carbon and energy footprint and mitigation. Following a presentation of the two concepts the CMC board decided which concept the groups would take forward to final design. 8 Team one 9 Automotive Engineering Antoine Bordas Mangesh Sudhir Dhuri Marc-Antoine Geffray Automotive Engineering MSc Automotive Engineering MSc Automotive Engineering MSc Ankith Gokul Govind Aravind Madathil Himmat Natkar Automotive Engineering MSc Automotive Engineering MSc Automotive Engineering MSc Alexandre Arthaud Parnaland Virgile Pouillas Jiadong Qu Automotive Engineering MSc Automotive Engineering MSc Automotive Engineering
