Keeping a vehicle running optimally and with the latest in automotive technology requires the involvement of well-trained engineers; more so now, when we accelerate towards an increasingly automated world. If this world fascinates you, yours may be to study Mechatronics Engineering with an automotive focus.
Lucia and Ramiro have been friends since they entered high school. They have in common a great facility for mathematics and physics, and since they were children they are super interested in cars. Yes, in cars, and other types of motor vehicles.
Their parents always say that they were born – like all the boys of their generation – with an integrated chip to understand and handle technology. The truth is that they have always been curious to know how things work.
Now, when looking for career options, everything seems to indicate that mechatronics could be the best way to unleash the full potential of their skills and abilities. They might even find an option that brings them closer to their favorite subject, the auto industry.
Automotive mechatronics in a single Engineering?
If we could quickly define what mechatronics engineering is, we would say that it is the perfect mix between mechanics, computing, electronics and control engineering. Let’s add to this cocktail the automotive world (the design, projection, manufacture and maintenance of all types of vehicles). The result is an exciting race that seems to be done for those, like our two protagonists, who seek to learn the secrets of both universes.
In UVM Engineering, this career integrates different technologies to design automotive systems, intelligent vehicles or implement improvements in existing models, and why not? also to develop innovations that facilitate and enrich people’s lives.
In addition, in alliance with leaders in the automotive and auto parts sector – including companies such as FESTO (leader and pioneer in automation), MATLAB (mathematical problem solving software), FlexSim (simulation of manufacturing processes) and SolidWorks (computer-aided design). ) – brings you closer every day to the practice of your future profession.
Apprenticeships and employment options
In the post-covid era, applying the physical-mathematical sciences to develop robotics systems and design smart equipment, devices and products will open up more and more new job opportunities for engineering in general and for the mechatronic engineer in particular.
At UVM, the curriculum of this Engineering includes: knowledge of automotive manufacturing, advanced electronics, robotics … And everything you learn you can experience in laboratories equipped with the latest technology, and also practice it in the real world during your last semester of studies
In addition, you have the possibility to choose a “Double degree” program with a foreign university, academic exchanges or trips to learn other languages.
Study Mechatronics Engineering with an Automotive UVM approach and be sure of achieving the future you want!
