MSc Automotive Systems Engineering

at University of Bradford

The systems engineering approach treats the product (in this case the vehicle) as a complex system and set of sub-systems with a particular function or set of functions including new demands on user interaction, safety, performance, and so on. It is a topdown approach to vehicle engineering which drives innovative new methods to vehicle design. The increasing complexity and interconnectivity of vehicle sub-systems now opens up the possibility for the subsystems to interact to meet the required function rather than the systems themselves, such as steering or brakes, dictating the available functions.
