2 Automotive Electronics Degree Programs in Spain

Current changes in the automotive sector were the precursor of the Master´s Program in Automotive Engineering. This master offers a deep insight in automotive technologies. The aim of the master’s degree is to achieve a profile of a high-qualified technician in the technologies related to this sector. For instance: electricity and electronics, knowledge of ergonomics and the interaction between the users and the vehicle, new materials and processing techniques, comfort, navigation systems, applied control systems, without forgetting the aspects related to propulsion systems, conventional or new (electric, with fuel cell), or the state-of-the-art calculation, design, and experimental tools. The learning methodology is based on projects where the practical work requests planning and organization tasks such as the ones of real industrial project. Students get familiar with the project management, which is compulsory for any engineer.

The interest of the degree is determined by the characteristics of the two basic subjects that constitute it: Automation and Industrial Electronics. These matters have driven an important change in economic activity due to the greater presence of automation and intelligence in increasingly complex processes and products, supported by information technology and communications. Nowadays, a production line cannot be conceived without a high degree of automation and management through computerized methods and integrated at various levels.
