About the Course

Automobile Industry 

is a gigantic sector and nowadays, it is one of the indispensable parts of the industry as it plays an important role in commutation. With the advent of technology, almost every day, a new automotive product is introduced in the market and therefore, those who study Automotive/Automobile engineering have to keep themselves updated with the current norms of the industry.

Automobile engineering

is one of the most sophisticated courses in engineering which involves the design, manufacturing, modification and maintenance of an automobile such as buses, cars, trucks and other transportation vehicles.

This field of engineering is research-intensive and requires professionals to be educated and committed to their automotive engineering specialties. This field of engineering involves the direct application of mathematics in the design and production of vehicles. Engineering disciplines that may be practiced in this field include safety engineering, vehicle electronics, quality management, and fuel economy and emissions. Automotive engineering may also be referred to as “automobile engineering”.

Automotive engineers, also referred to as “automobile engineers”, work with other engineers to enhance the technical performance, aesthetics, and software of vehicles. Common responsibilities of an automotive engineer include designing and testing various components of vehicles, including fuel technologies and safety systems. They may also come up with and design new vehicle models or vehicle systems using engineer design software.

Duties of an Automotive Engineer

Common duties of an automobile engineer include:

• Using computerized models to determine the behavior and efficiency of a vehicle;
• Assessing the safety and environmental components of an automotive project;
• Preparing design specifications;
• Creating plans and drawings for new vehicle products;
• Investigating instances of product failure;
• Researching, developing and producing new vehicles or vehicle subsystems.

Skills Acquired to Become an Automobile Engineer 

Skills that are necessary to work in the automobile engineering field include:

• Data analysis skills – automotive engineers are responsible for performing and analyzing various automobile tests. These professionals must be able to efficiently and effectively read and interpret data to improve vehicle performance and production. 
• Technical skills – automobile engineers must have a variety of technical skills related to this industry, including strong working knowledge of automobile maintenance and function.
• Teamwork skills – many automobile engineers work as a team to complete projects. This requires professionals to have strong teamwork skills and know how to effectively work with other individuals on a daily basis. 
• Problem-solving skills – Engineers in the automotive industry must be able to think creatively and originally to solve specific vehicle-related problems and create new solutions.
• Commercial awareness – these professionals must stay abreast of industry trends as well as the latest in automobile technology and regulations.

Career Prospects

As an automotive engineer, you’ll be able to choose from a range of career options. It’s possible to advance to supervisory engineer roles and senior positions within project team management, general management, and consultancy.

You’ll tend to specialize in the day-to-day management of engineering operations. As a chartered engineer (CEng) you might have a more strategic role, planning, researching and developing new ideas, and streamlining management methods.

You could also choose to move into a related career area, for example, environmental design. If you have worked a lot in creative design, you could move into the graphic design field. Teaching and lecturing at universities or colleges is a possibility if you have a master’s or Ph.D. in mechanical or automotive engineering.

Once you’ve built up several years of experience, it’s possible for you to go into contracting work, moving between short-term projects. This type of work can provide variety, excellent financial benefits, and the opportunity to work abroad. However, it generally lacks the stability and benefits associated with a permanent position with a large company
