Automotive Engineering Segment – Centro de Engenharia Automotiva da POLI-USP

Automotive Engineering Segment

The AEC stimulates students in the Mechanical Engineering Program of Escola Politécnica of USP to learn about and to opt for, in case they are interested, the Automotive Engineering Segment. It is a set of four disciplines, taught in the 5th year of the program, introducing students to automotive vehicle design.

20 places are yearly offered per discipline in the Automotive Engineering Segment. Students are selected based on their academic record – priority is given to those opting for the Segment.

The AEC also promotes the elaboration of graduation projects involving themes related to Automotive Engineering.
