Descriptions

The aim is to give the students the necessary skills and capabilities to work in industrial, designing, manufacturing, sales or maintenance functions of the automotive, engine, working machinery and transportation sectors of business. The logistical education covers transportation related planning, organizing, educational and marketing functions. After completing the studies, the students will be able to work successfully within these fields both as employees and as entrepreneurs.

The requirements for today's engineer are extensive, including economical, ecological, social, management and language skills, All the specializations will aim at comprehensive professional growth, not forgetting subjects that train for entrepreneurship.The studies consist of common studies of the University, fundamental studies of the Degree Programme and the chosen specialization, professional studies of the specialization , elective professional studies, freely chosen studies, practical training and engineering thesis.

Working in projects is a vital part of the engineering work. Due to this, projects are also an essential part of the studies. Taking part in the research and development projects, the students will get acquainted with project type of working. Within the projects, the students are solving problems arising from the real working life. This enhances their motivation and increases know-how among both the students and the teachers. Additionally, the students are encouraged to work or to study certain periods in foreign countries during their education.

Choosing a main subject or field of specialization, qualifications

There are three specializations to choose from in the Degree Programme:
1. Automotive engineering
2. After Sales
3. Vehicle Inspection
4. Transportation engineering (logistics)

The specialization Automotive engineering aims at giving the student a comprehensive fundamental understanding, based on physics and mechanics, about the functioning, designing and maintaining of the structures and components used in automobiles. The requirements for the students include to become familiar with appropriate and functional way of designing automotive components, to become familiar with handling properties of the vehicle in different driving situations, and to familiarize him-/herself with economically and ecologically optimized solutions for each particular type of vehicle.

The Vehicle Inspection oriented specialization includes, in addition to regular studies, about 30 credits of extra training in real working life. The experience gained this way helps the student to put his theoretical knowledge into praxis. This specialization is emphasized in maintaining rather than designing vehicles, and the aim is to familiarize the students with the operational functions within the automotive and transportation related business fields. All the students of this specialization will receive the authorization to work as official vehicle inspectors in Finland.

The specialization Transportation engineering (logistics) gives the students, after completing the general studies in logistics, the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the different forms of local and long-distance transportation and with the planning and organizing of delivery functions and freight traffic. The students will gain knowledge about organizing internal logistics, about transportation equipment and formation of transportation costs. The emphasis of the studies is in external logistics, order-delivery control and information systems.
