Education & Training
The high level of technology involved in modern motor vehicles requires a significant upgrading in the skills and capabilities of the automotive industry in Australia. In particular, undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses must produce engineers and other professionals with skill sets more aligned to emerging industry needs.
AutoCRC is implementing a strong graduate and undergraduate research program to enhance the skill sets of graduates through hands-on industry involvement.
The objectives for the participating Universities are a 50% increase in the number of PhD and Masters graduates and a 50% increase in the number of first-degree graduates with specialization in automotive technologies over the seven year AutoCRC funding period.
