Automobile
engineering is a sub branch of mechanical engineering. Automobile engineering
includes elements of Mechanical engineering, Electrical engineering,
Electronics Engineering, Software Engineering and Safety engineering as
applied to the design, manufacture and operation of automobiles, buses and
trucks and their respective engineering subsystems.
|
Functions
|
- Designing and developing vehicles using
knowledge of mechanical engineering, combustion, vehicle structures.
- Using the knowledge of computers and electronic and electrical
systems, which are all becoming increasingly sophisticated in modern
vehicles. For example, some cars now have computer controlled engine
systems and digital display dashboards.
- To specialise in design by using the computer-aided design (CAD) technology, allowing them to create and change
designs much more quickly than drawing boards.
- To specialise in research and development
by taking into account factors
such as cost, safety and comfort of driver including crash and safety
testing, fuel efficiency and environmental issues.
