Automotive Technology with Management 2009 - The Student Room

Automotive Technology with Management 2009   Hey my name's Sam. I'm starting this course in September and I just wanted to know who else is?

Re: Automotive Technology with Management 2009   Not the same course by name, nor just starting, but i'm essentially doing this course.

Depending on a reply i'm either going into the final year or onto placement. If you have any questions feel free to ask :)

Re: Automotive Technology with Management 2009   Quote: : Hey mate cheers for replying.

I'm really hoping I'm not the only one doing the course this year!

Haha.

Well main question is...

What CAM/CAD program do they use mainly and what kind of designing can I expect?

Re: Automotive Technology with Management 2009   Quote: : Feel free to ask more :p:

Re: Automotive Technology with Management 2009   Quote: : Will do!

Haha. I'm really interested in the engineering side aswell as the designing side.

Will this course help me to understand the basics of an engine etc.

Or will I have to learn it myself?

(I want to become an amateur mechanic you see - as a hobby).

Re: Automotive Technology with Management 2009   Quote: : i'd definitely recommend being part of the Formula Student team despite it being mostly design work in the first year it'll set you up well for being part of the full team in your second and final years.

Re: Automotive Technology with Management 2009   Quote: : Is that the thing in which the prospectus says "you can take part" haha.

I thought that just meant to watch over what they are doing.

Re: Automotive Technology with Management 2009   Quote: : Yep :) As of the 08/09 year the first years only do the design work, not sure how far it got but the plan was for them to design a whole formula student car and enter it at the Formula Student UK event at Silverstone in July.
