Pune-based tech company KPIT has joined hands with Coventry University in the United Kingdom to launch a new master of technology (MTech) course in automotive software engineering to be delivered to KPIT employees in India. 

KPIT employees will undertake coursework and training sessions from Coventry University’s experts. They will be taught embedded systems, vehicle dynamics, autonomous driving, AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System Architecture), powertrain, digital cockpit and automotive cybersecurity.  

The masters course will help employees build a strong understanding of software integration.
