The Ohio State University

The Center for Automotive Research, through its commitment to research,
and in harmony with the educational mission of The Ohio State
University, has formulated a strong program of educational activities
to provide interdisciplinary education and training in the field of
automotive systems. The primary objectives are: (i) to provide advanced
undergraduate and graduate level education to students focusing on the
application area of automotive systems, and (ii) to provide
interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate education and training to
practicing engineers, in disciplines of critical importance to
automotive systems. The educational activities of CAR are therefore
aimed at assisting engineers in industry, as well as OSU engineering
students, in acquiring knowledge of automotive processes and systems to
better prepare them for careers and career advancements in the
automotive industry.

Degree Programs

The College of Engineering at The Ohio State University offers a wide
variety of MS and Ph.D. degree programs in most fields of engineering.
Of particular interest to students emphasizing automotive systems is
the "MS Specialization" program, in which students tailor their MS
degree program to suit their particular interests in automotive
systems. Within CAR, student researchers of the various departments
experience a strong interdisciplinary atmosphere, not only in their
automotive-related coursework, but also in their specific areas of
research.
