Summary
Mechatronics in motorsports plays an increasingly important role in achieving competitive advantage within this sport. By enhancing the integration of a vehicle's mechanical and electronic systems you will be able to create intelligent systems capable of adapting to the rapidly changing conditions within the racing environment.
The Advanced Motorsports Mechatronics MSc aims to provide students with a sound understanding of the fundamental scientific, engineering and managerial principles involved in motorsport. The focus is on the "mechatronics" aspect of the discipline, involving the engineering of advanced control systems, multi-domain computer modelling, in-vehicle communication networks, electromechanical and embedded systems, hardware-in-the-loop validation and systems integration.
Who is it for? This course aims to provide students with a sound understanding of the fundamental scientific, engineering and managerial principles involved in motorsport. A combination of mechanics, electronics and computer systems, this postgraduate programme prepares graduates for a career in motorsport or high performance engineering.
Why this course? Cranfield University has undertaken research, consultancy and testing for the motorsport sector since the 1970s. The University is home to the FIA approved Cranfield Impact Centre and Cranfield Motorsport Simulation which work with F1 and leading motorsport companies.
The MSc in Advanced Motorsports Mechatronics aims to provide you with a sound understanding of the fundamental scientific, engineering and managerial principles involved in motorsport, and their implementation within a high performance technology context. You will cover design, testing and operation of competition vehicles, and related aspects of control engineering, computer modelling, embedded systems, alongside vehicle dynamics, vehicle systems, and management techniques related to motorsport. You will be taught the skills required for the planning, execution and reporting of motorsport projects and to prepare them for a variety of roles in motorsport.
We have an international reputation for our expertise in aerodynamics, CFD, materials technology, including composites, safety of motorsport vehicle structures, power-train development, vehicle dynamics, simulation, data acquisition and electronics, tyre characterisation and modelling. This track record ensures the course is highly respected by the motorsport industry.
As a student, you will benefit from: - Practical sessions using Cranfield's facilities and equipment
-
Engagement with motorsport practitioners
-
Motorsport related project work.
Accreditation The Advanced Motorsport Mechatronics MSc is accredited by: - The Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)
- Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)
on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the requirements for further learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
