AU TOMOT IVE ENGINEERING C E R T I F I C AT E P R O G R A M Requirements for the certificate progr am The program is available to undergraduate and graduate students currently enrolled at Mississippi State. Undergr aduates T Program Information he State of Mississippi and the Southern Region of the United States are home to a number of diverse automotive related manufacturing companies. Collectively, these industries, both large and small, contribute significantly to the overall state economy. Many of these companies depend on Mississippi State University to educate future employees and are currently actively recruiting graduates to meet their strategic hiring needs. The university recognizes the needs of our citizens, students, and companies by tailoring selected programs to meet the needs of all of these constituencies. This certificate program is a formal acknowledgement of engineering students who complete a specialized program of study related to automotive engineering. This program, although not all inclusive, demonstrates the Bagley College of Engineering’ ’ 's commitment to the automotive industry in the state. The Automotive Engineering Certificate program is the first of its kind in the Southern Region of the United States and is designed to give students an opportunity to focus on engineering knowledge and issues related to the design of vehicles and their production. The program is multi-disciplinary allowing students from all areas of engineering to participate. To meet the requirements for the Automotive Engineering Certificate, an undergraduate student must complete 15 hours of designated courses. These courses include one from the Level I list, two from the Level II list, a course entitled “Automotive Engineering,” that will be taught under the cross listed course numbers of ME 4193, ECE 4193, IE 4193 and CHE 4193, and a directed individual study course (ME/ECE/IE/CHE-4000) related to a team experience in automotive engineering. Additionally, at least two of the courses (6 hours) taken for the Automotive Engineering Certificate must be in addition to the courses required for the student’ ’ 's degree program in the student’ ' ’ s major. Automotive Engineering Course T his course is required for the Automotive Engineering Certificate program. The course is taught under the cross listed course numbers of ME 4193/6193, ECE 4193/6193, IE 4193/6193 and CHE 4193/6193. All students in the Automotive Engineering Certificate program are required to take this "Automotive Engineering" course. The course is available to all engineering majors and includes topics in Power Units, Mechanical Systems, Electrical Systems and Industrial and Systems Engineering. Team Experience in Automotive Engineering Gr aduate Students To meet the requirements for the Automotive Engineering Certificate, a graduate student must complete 12 hours of graduate level courses. These courses include two from the Level II list, a course entitled “Automotive Engineering,” that will be taught under the cross listed course numbers of ME 6193, ECE 6193, IE 6193 and CHE 6193, and a directed individual study course (ME/ECE/ IE/CHE-6000) related to a team experience in automotive engineering. To receive the certificate, the student must have a minimum 3.0 GPA in the courses taken for the certificate. The student’ 's graduate committee will determine what certificate-related courses, if any, fulfill course requirements for the student’ 's graduate degree. A ll students are required to participate on an MSU team to design/build a vehicle or in a pre-approved alternative experience with consent of the director of the Automotive Engineering Certificate program. An example of an alternative experience may be a co-op or internship with an automobile company. The level of effort for the team or alternative experience must be equivalent to a three-hour course with a grade assigned for the appropriate directed individual study course. Membership in the student section of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) is strongly encouraged. Typically SAE members are involved in a design team: DOE Energy Efficient Vehicle, Formula Race Car, Solar Car, etc.
