MEng Motor Sports Engineering Management

Comments about MEng Motor Sports Engineering Management - At the institution - Sheffield - South Yorkshire

• Objectives
  The Motor Sports sector is continually growing, proving not only extremely popular but also highly commercial and profitable. This novel course is designed for those who want to develop mechanical engineering skills, applicable to the motor sports industry. In addition you will obtain entrepreneurial and management skills valued in the sector or in order to run your own motor sports company. During the course of your degree, you will form part of the University of Sheffield Motor Sports Company. This company has been set up in the department to run alongside your course. In the first two years, you will have the opportunity to obtain an MSA national competition licence, and gain experience in running motor sports related activities. In the third year, as part of a group project, you will, amongst other activities, be able to design racing car components and develop racing cars. In the final year, you will contribute to motor sports events, helping in development, organisation and running events, or alternatively being part of a consultancy team, which will provide advice to other motor sports teams. There is a degree of flexibility to change between our courses by the end of the first year, by agreement with the Department. This four-year course is fully accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and meets the latest requirements for entry to the profession as a Chartered Engineer. Full Chartered Engineer (CEng) status will require appropriate experience working as a graduate engineer.
