Automobile Engineering, a branch of vehicle engineering, deals with different elements of electrical, electronic, software and safety engineering. In this stream, a student learns how to design, develop, manufacture, test and repair and service automobiles. Today the demand of automobile engineer is growing day by day because India has emerged as the global hub of automobile and autocomponents manufacturer. An automotive engineer is involved in almost every aspect of cars and trucks designing from the initial concepts to manufacturing them. We can divide this engineering into three main streams for e.g. product engineering, development engineering and manufacturing engineering. Production engineers are commonly known as design engineers that focus on the design components and systems of a car. As a Development engineer, one may involve in various attributes of a car with performance, durability and speed. On the other hand, the manufacturer engineer is involved with how to make and construct various vehicles.
After completing Automobile Engineering from the top institute, a student has excellent job prospects. If an individual has some knowledge in IT, then he can work in designing, CAD, CAM, ERP, testing etc. And as well as if he has MBA degree, he can work as senior manager materials, SCM, CRM, Operations, production, planning and control, tester, consultant and many more. The career options for automobile engineer are Safety engineering, Emissions Research or Controller, performance engineer, Systems engineer, Operations Research, Vehicle Manufacturing Engineer etc.
