The department combines the automotive development centre, noise laboratory, and metallurgy laboratories. We're actively involved in various research and development projects—check out the Cooperation section for a wide range of services. Our labs and research directly contribute to the teaching in our study programs.
StudentCar serves as an exclusive brand employed in product development within our department. The inception of the Department of Automotive Materials and Technologies in 2008 was driven by the idea of creating a specialized degree program centered on automotive development. The vision extended beyond theoretical knowledge, aiming to encompass the entire automotive development process, from design to homologation, with a practical approach.
Our commitment to hands-on learning is evident in the construction of prototypes, allowing us to validate theoretical data and acquire real measurement results. Since 2010, our focus has expanded to electromobility. Beyond our belief in electricity as the future driving force, it's the precision in vehicle control and diagnosis under all conditions that motivates our exploration in this direction. Explore the StudentCar cars section for further details.
The department has grown to include a specialized metallurgy center and a center for acoustics, vibration, and physical processes. With well-equipped laboratory facilities and years of experience, both centers contribute significantly to our research and development efforts.
