Automotive Equipment - Part-time Study

The aim of the Bachelor's degree program in “Automotive Engineering” is to prepare mechanical engineers with in‑depth knowledge and skills in the field of automotive technology, in response to the growing demand for such specialists.

During the course of study in the Bachelor’s degree programme in “Automotive Engineering”, students acquire knowledge and skills that enable them to:

• solve engineering problems by applying modern methods and tools, as well as the latest developments in the fields of automotive engineering, mechanical engineering, and manufacturing technologies;
• design, repair, and maintain motor vehicles using modern computer-aided design (CAD) systems and computer-assisted production planning tools;
• use and develop technical documentation in compliance with the requirements of European and international standards;
• model and analyse components, assemblies, systems, and units in the field of automotive engineering using computer technologies and specialised software;
• plan and manage the operation, maintenance, and repair of automotive equipment, including the use of computer-based control systems;
• research, systematise, process, and apply scientific and technological advancements by using state-of-the-art computer and information technologies.

Application and admission to the degree program are regulated by the Student Admission Regulations of the Technical University of Sofia. The admission procedure follows the officially announced guidelines, and any specific requirements are published alongside the general terms and conditions.

Up-to-date information regarding admissions is available on the website of the Technical University of Sofia: http://priem.tu-sofia.bg/university/174

During their studies, students receive excellent fundamental and general engineering training required for a classical mechanical engineer: mathematics, physics, materials science, mechanics, strength of materials, machine elements, thermal engineering, hydro- and gas dynamics, as well as in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics, computer science, and mechanical engineering technology.
Students also study a variety of specialized disciplines through which they acquire knowledge and skills in the field of automotive engineering:

theory, construction, and design of automotive equipment: internal combustion engines, motor vehicles (cars, buses, industrial trucks, tractors, motorcycles, etc.);
dynamics, strength, and reliability of automotive equipment;
technologies for the production, maintenance, repair, testing, and diagnostics of automotive equipment;
technologies for organizing the operation of vehicles and road transport, as well as their interaction with other modes of transport.

The mechanical engineer with a Bachelor's degree in "Automotive Engineering" is prepared for a professional career as:
· a design engineer, technologist, marketing, and service specialist in companies engaged in manufacturing, design, and consulting activities related to the application and use of automotive equipment;
· a sales representative, distributor, and advertising agent for automotive products and machinery, production equipment, and specialized software for design and manufacturing in the automotive sector;
· a teacher in secondary schools and specialized training centers for disciplines directly or indirectly related to automotive transport and related fields.
They can pursue managerial and executive positions requiring a Bachelor's degree and the professional qualification of "Mechanical Engineer" in the fields of manufacturing, services, trade, advertising, education, and public administration, as well as start their own business.
The mechanical engineer with a Bachelor's degree in "Automotive Engineering" can enhance their professional qualifications by continuing their education in a Master's degree program at Bulgarian and foreign universities.
