    Coventry University is situated within an

    impressive 33-acre site in the centre of one ofEnglands largest and most historic cities, its main

    building located in University Square opposite the

    historic architecture of Coventry Cathedral.

    As well as enjoying the centrality o its location in the

    Midlands, with accessible transport nationally and

    internationally, students also beneft rom excellent

    acilities, which include an award-winning 18 million

    library, a new sports centre, and a purpose-built 35m

    Student building which opens in September 2011.

    Courses are designed with employability as a majortheme and students beneft rom links with major

    global corporations, in addition to the opportunity o

    placements both within and outside the university.

    Coventry provides a unique blend o the old and new,

    epitomised by the ruins o the old cathedral bombed

    during World War II, next to its modern successor.

    The cobbled streets and medieval buildings around

    the cathedral contrast with the ountains playing in

    University.

    One o the major themes o Coventry as a consequence

    o its cathedral being bombed and rebuilt, is peace and

    reconciliation. This is reected in the cultural diversity o

    the city and the welcome it extends to visitors. Coventry

    attracts thousands o visitors each year because o its

    history and its attractions, but it is also a university city

    and as such oers a wide range o cultural and social

    opportunities. There are plenty o restaurants, sport

    centres, cas, the Belgrade Theatre, an ice-rink and

    an eight-screen cinema complex, together with a

    number o signifcant tourist spots within easy travellingdistance o the city, or example Warwick Castle,

    Stratord-Upon-Avon and Coombe Abbey.

    Coventry University

    Coventry was established in 1043 with the ounding

    o a Benedictine Abbey by Leoric, Earl o Merciaand his wie, Lady Godiva. By the thirteenth century

    it had become a centre o many textile trades and its

    non-ading blue cloth became highly sought ater

    throughout Europe. Coventry had become the ourth

    largest English city by the ourteenth century and

    on several occasions became the second capital

    o England with parliament moving there. Coventry

    continued to thrive and in the eighteenth century

    enjoyed an industrial boom which led to a massive

    expansion in its population. In the twentieth century,

    Coventry had become a centre o the British motorindustry, but it also suered massive devastation

    during World War II when many o its historic buildings,

    including the cathedral were bombed. Ater the war

    the city was rebuilt, and now it is undergoing more

    transormation and regeneration in order to consolidate

    its position o centrality in the Midlands.

    The Future for Engineering and Computing

    Coventry University is investing 55 million in a

    stunning new building which will transform theway Engineering, Mathematics and Computing

    subjects are taught in the UK and how universities

    collaborate with industry. The University considers

    this to be the most important project it has

    undertaken.

    The new centre or the Faculty o Engineering and Computing will

    be innovative inside and out. Its visually stunning, uturistic exterior

    will mark it out as an iconic building at the heart o one o the UKs

    most historic engineering cities.

    Environmentally, it will be highly sustainable, using a rangeo technologies including rainwater harvesting, waste water

    recycling, green roofng, solar thermal energy and biomass

    boilers.

    The building will be a living environmental technologies

    demonstrator and test-bed in its own right. The complete

    construction will allow exploration, monitoring and evaluation o

    building perormance. Parts o the construction will be exposed,

    the building management system will be accessible, and real-

    time data will be provided via sensors positioned throughout the

    structure.

    To ensure students learn rom this valuable resource on their

    doorstep, the building data, such as internal temperature,

    humidity and carbon dioxide levels will be recorded and will be

    reely available.

    Inside, it will be equally orward-looking, with a completely

    resh approach to organising spaces so they best support new

    ways o learning. This is a key element to the design o the new

    building. The aim is to create a community o learners o sta

    and students who inspire and encourage each other as well as

    engaging with industry.

    The new building will oster Activity Led Learning (ALL) which

    the Faculty is promoting as the way orward or 21st century

    graduates. Activity Led Learning is a new way o educating

    engineers or the uture by equipping them with the skills which

    industry wants. It is designed to give them experience o solving

    real problems against real deadlines, using practical skills, team-

    working and creativity. The building will be a antastic learning

    environment with: a 2,000 metre square laboratory which is highly

    connected, exible and visible.

    collaborative classrooms and IT rooms where students can sit

    in groups o 6 or 9 around tables with retractable computer

    screens

    dynamic lecture theatres including one in the round which can

    be split into two semi-circular lecture areas. easy access to the latest industry standard sotware or

    students

    bookable learning booths and IT workspaces

    ca in the atrium

    sot seating areas or inormal chats

    a oating balcony over the atrium or semi-private study area

    open plan administration ofces behind glass walls

    Designed by leading international architects Arup Associates, and

    being constructed by Balour Beatty, the new building will rival

    the best internationally and will create a signifcant regional and

    national resource.

    Summary

    Rapid advances in vehicle technology

    over recent years have been driven by a

    demanding worldwide marketplace. The

    main requirement has been to develop

    vehicles that are economic, have high

    levels o refnement and perormance

    and provide advanced additional

    eatures. Developing vehicles to this

    standard requires extensive computer

    based engineering design and analysis,

    supported later in the vehicle development

    cycle by rigorous testing and measurement

    o perormance.

    In order to develop an engineering

    product as complex as an automobile

    requires teams o engineers who notonly understand the overall technology

    but are also highly specialised in certain

    areas. This course not only addresses

    the overall design o a vehicle but will also

    introduce you to various specialised areas

    o automotive engineering.
