1. An Overview of Automobile Engineers
Automotive or automobile engineering has gained significance and recognition ever since the
invention of motor vehicles has been a necessity. Due to the rapid growth of automotive
industries and the manufacturers associated with automobile components, there is a great
demand for automobile engineers.
Automobile engineering is one of the most challenging careers when it comes to engineering
with a wider scope. This field of education deals with
1. Designing
2. Testing,
3. Developing,
4. Manufacturing,
5. Servicing and repairing vehicles.
For designing and manufacturing, automobile engineers use attributes of several aspects of
engineering including electrical, mechanical, safety, electronic and software engineering.
Education and training for automotive engineering
To become a proficient automobile engineer, one must have a degree in engineering course in
the graduation stage. Moreover, pre-entry post graduation qualification is definitely useful as it
provides detail understanding and study of automotive engineering as well as knowledge for
specialist roles. Specialized training is mandatory to gain further knowledge in this field. The
relevant subjects include mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, electronic
engineering and production and manufacturing engineering.
This broad field of engineering has different categories and area of specialization such as supply
chain management, electronics and control system, aerodynamics, engine system,
thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and much more to add. The study involves the proper
understanding of the mechanics of research and design, vehicle chasis, electrical system, motor

automobile.
Institutions
There are several reputable institutions offering Btech engineering course in Gujarat. Also
automobile engineering colleges in Ahmedabad are popular not only for its undergraduate and
post graduate degrees but also for their research programs. They aim to bring social changes
with education, skills, development and research and innovation. Automobile engineering
course in Ahmadabad provide diverse
opportunities for students and also for the
faculties to improve their knowledge and
skills required to become a successful
automotive engineer in the future.
Skills required to become an
automobile engineer
One of the most important skills required to
become a proficient automotive engineer is
the technical ability to solve different
problems with the automobile and repair
them as soon as possible. They must
understand the mechanical, electronic,
ergonomics and computers thoroughly.
Most importantly, the ability to read,
understand, explain and perform technical
activities based on designing and planning is
essential. Automobile engineers should be
willing to learn new and developing
automotive technologies and systems. Since
they are required to work with other
engineers of different engineering
departments, they should be proactive, a
good motivator and team leader.
Primary responsibilities of automotive engineers
 Design, test, manufacture and operate engineering systems
 Research new designs and supervise the process of manufacturing, installation and
operations of automobiles. They also review, change and approve designs

3.  Identify functional needs during developmental phase
 Test designs and products to identify safety issues and mechanical defects
 Investigate mechanical failures
 Integrate vehicle components into the final design
 Plan production requirement and estimate costs, safety factors and reliability
 Manage and control the efficiency of the entire technical process
Automotive engineering is one of the most challenging yet exciting professions you may
choose.
