- Description/content
- The aim of the MEng ASM:
The Esslingen Master of Engineering reflects the needs of globally oriented companies. The programmes are designed for students who wish to become highly-qualified engineers in the field of automotive systems for the development of feedback control systems and software intensive systems.
To this end, the course is given in close conjunction with local industry, emphasising practical experience.
In addition, students are given the chance to work on networked projects in multicultural teams.
The Master of Engineering programme in Automotive Systems (ASM) started in 2008 and is offered every year. It has been re-structured in 2023 with a stronger focus on systems and software (ASM 2.0). Therefore, two majors are offered:
• Aim of the "Vehicle Systems" major:
Graduates will have the chance to work in the field of development and testing of innovative automotive functions for steering, suspension, and powertrain to improve ride and handling, stability, driveability, and fuel economisation.
• Aim of the "Automotive IT" major:
Graduates will have the chance to work in the field of development and testing of innovative car communication systems and of safe software, robotics and autonomous driving.
A Master's degree can be earned after the usual study period of three semesters (one and a half years). The language of instruction is English. The aim of this course of study is to reach a specialised, professional level in one of the following two fields: vehicle systems or automotive IT.
In order to facilitate more exchange with German students, two courses in the second semester (Powertrain/VS and V2X/IT) are interlinked with the German Automotive Master's programme.
