Program Description
The Automotive Engineering major in ZUST was established in 2003 and has progressed rapidly to become one of the key construction majors of Zhejiang Province, China. It provides diverse curricula to be evenly balanced between theoretical and practical elements, which instill in our students the imagination, talents, creativity, and skills necessary for the varied and rapidly changing demands of automotive industry and its enterprises. Our curricula not only cover practical courses using official training materials for career certification to prepare our students for a career in the maintenance and marketing of automotive industry, but also the theory and practice of various mechanical engineering and automotive engineering courses such as Mechanical Precision Design and Measurement, Mechanical Control Engineering, Automotive Structure, Automotive Theory, Automotive Design, learning to prepare them for further studies in new-energy vehicle and autonomous vehicle research areas.
Enrollment Advantage
At present, the automotive industry is a growing global industry, and therefore companies expect the most well prepared young engineers who are aware of the solid theoretical fundamentals, have project experience and can use the latest tools – both hardware and software. Our most graduates are engaged in a variety of work such as design and development, test and research, production management, scientific research, and higher education.
Our students have successively won the excellent award of “Outstanding Student”, “Top Ten Team’ of excellent team in student social practice. It established ZUST ATTACKER Student Association for Vehicle Enthusiasts, which is the high-profile student association of auto technology in our university. Our students won the grand prizes many times in the Formula Student China (FSC), include Formula Student Combustion China (FSCC) and Formula Student Electric China (FSEC).

Employment Prospects
After four years of study in Vehicle Engineering, approximately half of the graduates start a career in the industry, based on a “two-way selection”, qualified as Vehicle Engineering, mechanical engineers, hardware engineers, software engineers or project managers, who can are employed by major car, truck and bus companies, as well as entire automobile manufacturers and parts manufacturers, such as Bosch, Ford, Geely, Zhejiang Asia-pacific Mechanical & Electronic, Pingan Insurance, etc.
The other graduates continue to pursue master’s degree under recommendation and excused from a test. Their excellent academic performance and extra-curriculum activity gives them an overwhelming advantage in scholarship applications. Many graduates proceed to pursue master’s degree at our own school with familiar supervisors.
