Overview

TAEA represents the appropriate framework for students to train in accordance with the current requirements in a highly topical field, AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRONICS, a field also promoted in Romania. Many companies from all over the world, which have opened branches in the automotive industry, undoubtedly want personnel specialized in automotive electronics and have created the prerequisites for the development of the automotive electronics sector for cars with thermal engines, but especially electric vehicles:

  • RENAULT - DACIA funds research and development programmes
    carried out in Romania;
  • Groupe RENAULT has set up the Renault Technology Research Centre
    Romania;
  • UPB coordinates research programs - design of automotive equipment with Romanian manufacturing companies (Continental, Siemens, etc.)
  • The Romanian Association for Electronics and Software Industry (ARIES), the Romanian Association of Automobile Manufacturers (ACAROM), the Society of Automotive Engineers of Romania (SIAR), Optoelectronica 2001 SA, the Romanian Association of Tribology, have issued letters of interest for the organization of in-depth studies in order to have specialists in advanced integrated technologies, applications in automotive electronics engineering on the labour market.

The specialisation programme aims at integrating knowledge through a training strongly oriented towards specific applications
