Guide to Become an Automotive Engineer in Pakistan
What is Automotive Engineering?
Automotive engineering is a subcategory of vehicle engineering that includes mechanical, electrical, electronic, software, and safety engineering components in the design, production, and operation of motorcycles, automobiles, and trucks, as well as their engineering subsystems. It also involves vehicle modifications.
The manufacturing domain is concerned with the development and assembly of the whole parts of automobiles is also included in it. The discipline of automotive engineering is heavily reliant on research and the direct application of mathematical models and formulas. The three main functions in this sector are production, development, and manufacturing.
Who is an Automotive Engineer?
Automotive engineers are professionals who specialise in a particular area of the industry, such as fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, or control systems. Rather than a single engineer working alone, the manufacture of a car sometimes requires a team of automotive engineers who each specialise in a different aspect of vehicular engineering.
What do Automotive Engineers Do?
Automotive engineers are also referred to as automobile engineers. They team up with other engineers to improve cars' technical performance, appearance, and software. Designing and testing different components of cars, such as fuel technologies and safety systems, are common tasks of an automotive engineer. They may also use engineer design tools like as ThinkDesign Engineering to come up with and develop new car models or vehicle systems.
Nature of Work of Automotive Engineers
Working as an automotive engineer means that you will be working in your office, and going to the field quite often. Automotive engineers typically do a lot of research and design related work in their office spaces. However, for the hands-on experiments they often visit numerous industrial and other field environments. Here is a list explaining the kind of work automotive engineers do.
1. Preparing design specifications
2. New vehicle or vehicle subsystem research, development, and production
3. Using computational models to predict a vehicle's behaviour and efficiency
4. Investigating instances of product failure
5. Preparing cost estimates for current or new vehicles
6. Analyzing an automotive project's safety and environmental aspects
7. Making blueprints and sketches for new vehicle products
How to Become an Automotive Engineer?
After passing intermediate in the science stream with mathematics, a four-year bachelor's degree is required for most automotive engineering employment. Because many universities do not offer automotive engineering bachelor's degrees, prospective automotive engineers might consider majoring in mechanical engineering or a similar subject. A graduate degree can give further training and expertise, as well as opportunities for career advancement in this industry.
