Getting Started

The MS in Automotive Engineering stresses the concept that an automobile is a single system in which all components and component packages are sub-systems that cannot be independently changed without affecting the entire automobile. The goal is to help you develop expertise of the vehicle as a whole, rather than its separate parts. All course work is built around this premise that in such a complex system all areas must behave as a single, well-integrated entity if product goals are to be achieved.

automotive and manufacturing industries, it is also committed to the future technology of transportation. Lawrence Tech was the first university in the nation to offer a course in hybrid electric vehicles and routinely draws upon the knowledge of professionals who are working on tomorrows cars today. These industry experts regularly give lectures on complex topics ranging from fuel cells to vehicle control strategies.
