Engineering Degree
and Engineering Schools
A
utomotive engineering is involved with examining the ope-
rating principles of automobiles. This may include electrical
processes, hydraulic systems, mechanical system, and ef-
ficiency management. The automotive industry is a rapidly ad-
vancing sector, and includes many technological and computer-
based systems. Some automotive engineering degree programs
offer many courses in mechanical engineering, and automotive
design engineering focuses on the interior and exterior com-
ponents of vehicles. Automotive engineering colleges provide
hands-on training and direct application for a variety of careers
in the industry.
What Is Automotive Engineering?
Automotive engineering is a specialization in the field of ve-
hicle engineering, and can be separated into three major fields of
study: production, development, and manufacturing. Production
engineers are often called design engineers, and focus on the
design components and systems of a car. Engineers in this field
may be involved with designing and testing of parts, coordina-
ting tests, and ensuring that vehicles meet national standards. De-
velopment engineers are involved with the various attributes of
a car including performance, durability, and speed. A manufactu-
ring automotive engineer is primarily involved with how to make
and construct various vehicles.
Job Description and Responsibilities
of an Automotive Engineer
After completing training with an automotive engineering
degree program, an automotive engineer is commonly involved
with projects such as:
„ Designing components and systems
„ Determining the best attributes for a particular car or future
vehicle
„ Developing standards and codes for efficient production
„ Determining costs and implementing procedures to reduce
manufacturing costs
„ Introducing and developing new techniques and systems for
automotive production
„ Ensuring governmental regulations are followed during all
steps of production
