Automobile Engineering



  • Automotive engineers are separated into three main streams: product engineering , development and testing and manufacturing engineering . 
  • Excellent future prospects, as India emerges as the global hub of automobile and autocomponents ,making relations with every reputed brand in the world of automobiles.
  • Self employment opportunities for those who do not wish to be bounded .




Automobile engineering or automotive engineering is the branch of 
engineering which deals with the study as how to design, manufacture 
and operate automobiles like buses, trucks, cars etc. and
 also their respective engineering subsystems. This can also 
be a grouped under vehicle engineering.
An automobile engineer’s main duty is to design, test and 
develop vehicles and/or components from concept stage
 through to production stage. The vehicle after being launched 
in the market also needs improvement. Then it comes to the duty
 of the automobile engineer to improve the vehicle in response to 
customers feedback.
Automobile engineers further can specialize in the areas such as aerodynamics,
alternative fuels, chassis, electronics, emissions,
 ergonomics, manufacturing, materials, motorsport, power train,
 rapid prototyping, vehicle and pedestrian safety or supply chain
 management etc. The responsibility of automobile engineer is 
always in maintaining the high standard of vehicle by the use of 
traditional methods and state-of-the-art technology.
In recent times, owing to the rapid growth of automobile industries
 in the country, the demand for skilled professionals has also 
been increased considerably. Hence opting for a career in 
automobile engineering will be interesting as well as rewarding.

Automobile Engineers are mainly classified into three streams 
like Product or Design Engineers, Development Engineers 
and Manufacturing Engineers. Product Engineers or Design 
Engineers are those who deal with the designing and testing 
of the components and systems of automobiles. They design 
and test each part of the visualised automobile, seeing that 
it meets all requirements, performs as required, that the 
material meets desired durability, and so on.
