5. What is automobile engineering?
• Focuses on the application, design and
manufacture of various types of
automobiles.
• Involves the direct application of
mathematics and physics concepts in the
design and production of vehicles.
• Include safety engineering, vehicle
electronics, quality control, fuel economy
and emissions.

6. What do automobile engineers do?
• Common responsibilities of an automotive engineer
include designing and testing various components of
vehicles, including fuel technologies and safety
systems.
• They also work in the after-sale care of vehicles,
making repairs and inspections.
• They can work on both the interior and exterior
components of vehicles.
• Automobile engineers work with other professionals
to enhance the technical performance, aesthetics and
software components of vehicles.
