Bachelor of Technology (Motorsports)

Develops core problem-solving abilities and the technical, financial and management skills associated with manufacturing industries in general, and the motorsports industry in particular.

Students gain a solid understanding of the design, simulation and fabrication processes, and the management issues associated with production of the complex automotive systems and the components that underpin the motorsport industry. The course provides a stimulating and supportive learning environment, with an enthusiastic and articulate approach that reflects the culture of motorsports.

Students also have the opportunity to further develop competencies through the provision of extra-curricular activities to help progression into the motorsports industry.

This course has been accredited by ECU as an AQF Level 7 Bachelor Degree Award.

1. Apply broad discipline knowledge of the underpinning natural and physical sciences and in depth understanding of specialist bodies of knowledge within the motorsports technology domain.
2. Think critically, and apply established engineering methods to broadly defined motorsports problems.
3. Apply systematic engineering synthesis and design processes to conduct and manage projects in the motorsports technology domain, with some intellectual independence.
4. Demonstrate conceptual understanding of the mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics and computer and information sciences which underpin the motorsports technology discipline and fluently apply engineering techniques, tools and resources.
5. Demonstrate clear and coherent oral and written communication in professional and lay domains.
6. Demonstrate a global outlook and knowledge of contextual factors impacting the motorsports technology domain, including respect for cultural diversity and indigenous cultural competence.
7. Demonstrate effective team membership and team leadership to implement motorsports technology projects according to relevant standards of ethical conduct, sustainable practice and professional accountability.
8. Demonstrate responsibility for own learning, professional judgement and an understanding of the scope, principles, norms, accountabilities and bounds of contemporary practice in the motorsports technology domain.
