Godson Peter Sop Automotive Engineering
like magic to me ever since my childhood. This fascination has since been responsible
for my inclination towards engineering. I have been a mechanical fanatic right since
my primary schooling days. When I was in my 8th grade I decided to be a mechanical
engineer, with my ambition to excel in the field. I became involved in mechanical
engineering which brought me a step closer to my dream. However, during my first few
years, I struggled in subject.
On rigorously searching for appropriate courses, I came across the immens e options
provided at HERTFORDSHIRE University. The MSc in Automotive engineering with
the research area of Fluid Mechanics and Machinery. Manufacturing, Strength
Methods of Materials, Engineering Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer and Combustion,
Automotive Petrol Engines, Engineering Analysis, Numerical Methods,
Automotive Design Engines and Manufacturing Innovation was just the all-in-one
package I could dream.
Other than involvement in the design, manufacture, distribution, marketing, sales and
after-sales care of cars (including racing cars), motorbikes and other commercial
vehicles. I can also work on the aesthetics and technical performance of the vehicles
and, increasingly, the electronics and software involved with modern vehicles.
Responsibilities of the job typically include, assessing project requirements, agreeing
and negotiating project budgets, timescales and specifications with clients and
managers, developing and implementing test procedures, building prototypes of
components to carry out tests on organising and carrying out tests, e.g. to check
whether engines will work in different conditions, such as high temperatures,
interpreting and analysing results and data,sourcing vehicle components and selecting
the best materials to use, providing technical advice and answering queries from
clients, using specialist computer modelling software to produce designs, making
improvements to vehicles in response to customer feedback, investigating and solving
etc.
