Engineering

Automotive engineering is the combination of mechanical engineering, vehicle dynamics, drive-train engineering and engine design to form a subject that deals with all aspects of vehicle design. Automotive engineers study such subjects as aerodynamics, vehicle ride and handling, power generation, crash-worthiness and even management,  looking at every component in modern vehicle construction. The entire automotive drive-train, including the suspension, transmission, brakes, tyres and engine, can be modelled and simulated on computer making development of new components/vehicles a quick and relatively inexpensive process.
