Course_Introduction
|
Automobile
Engineering deals with the designing,
developing, manufacturing, testing, repairing and servicing automobiles such
as cars, trucks, motorcycles, scooters etc & the related Sub- Engineering
systems. Automobile Engineering or Automotive Engineering or Vehicle
Engineering is one of the most challenging careers in the field of
engineering with a wide scope. It has
gained recognition and importance ever since motor vehicles capable
for transporting passengers has been in vogue. The field of activity of a
qualified engineer in automobile engineering contains development (construction,
calculation and testing), priming of work, fabrication and observation of the
functionality of vehicles for street and rails. An automobile engineer's main
duty is to test 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 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. Automotive
engineers work in three main areas:
1.
Product engineering or design engineering - designing and testing a part,
ensuring it meets all its requirements and performs as required;
2.
Development engineering - engineering the attributes of the automobile;
3.
Manufacturing engineering - determining how to make it. They develop improved or new designs for
automotive structural members, engines, transmissions, and associated
automotive equipment or modifies existing equipment on production vehicles,
and directs building, modification, and testing of vehicle, using
computerized work aids: They also conducts experiments and tests on existing
designs and equipment to obtain data on function of and performance of
equipment.
