AutoCRC Student Project Program - 2011 now closed
For undergraduates we provide the opportunity and funding to complete a final year project within the automotive industry. AutoCRC has offered over 50 undergraduate students a year the opportunity to work within an industry setting with both industry and academic supervisors. The projects are financially supported by AutoCRC enabling advanced research, design and testing projects. Students involved in the program can expect to:
- work on a real world problem or project that is important to the automotive industry
- produce real solutions of potential value to the industry
- use state-of-the-art equipment and software
- observe the automotive industry from the inside
- practice skills in presentation and professional communications
- display their abilities to one or more potential employers
- develop professional skills and attitudes of long term career value
Each participating university has a lecturer who is coordinating these projects with AutoCRC, these are listed below.
