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 grouped under vehicle engineering. An automobile engineer’s main duty is to design, test and develop vehicles and / or components from the concept stage through to the production one. The vehicle after launch in the market also needs improvisation which is also done by the automobile engineer in response to the customers’ feedback.




Further 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. The responsibility of an automobile engineer is always in maintaining the high standard of vehicle by the use of traditional methods and state-of-the-art technology.
