Automotive Systems Engineering
Automotive Systems Engineering is a degree program that is offered at some universities.
The name is made up of automotive and systems engineering . A central point of the system engineer is the interdisciplinary thinking.
The work of a system engineer in the automotive sector combines all relevant subject areas of a modern vehicle engineer and includes profound knowledge u. a. in:
- System theory / reliability / mathematics / physics / chemistry / biology / materials and materials science / ...
- Automotive technology (general)
- Electrics / Electronics (Tools: PSpice , ...)
- Mechanics / Mechatronics (Tools: CATIA , ...)
- Measurement and control technology (tools: Matlab / Simulink , LabVIEW , ...)
- Simulation technology (tools: Matlab / Simulink & Stateflow, ...)
- Programming languages and tools (tools: object-oriented ( C ++ & classic C , assembler ), ...)
- Operating systems / operating system cores / real-time operating system cores
- Software engineering (software engineering) and CASE tools (tools: object-oriented ( UML , ...) & classic ( structograms , state transition diagrams , ...), ...)
- Microprocessor technology / microcontroller technology
- Embedded Systems / Embedded Real-Time Systems
- Communication technology / field bus systems / optical technologies / ...
- Sensor and Smart Sensor Technologies
A particular challenge is to be able to overlook all these areas from a bird's eye view ("top down"), that is, to have an eye for the essentials and still be able to master them down to the last detail.
