is this job related to engineering?




magic


I have recently read a news that a car is invented which can open the wings to fly. I would like to become a job which I can invent this type of thing. Which type of engineering does it related to?


Answer
There would be many different types of engineers that designed this car, such as electrical, mechanical and possibly materials engineer. Electrical and Mechanical engineering are one of the core branches of engineering meaning there will always be a job.

Designing cars as a career?

Q. A few questions:
What courses would I need to do at college (obviously design) what else? how would you even apply for a job doing something like this? what is involved in the job? would this be the sort of job youd train for but find hard to get into?


Answer
Most of the information you wanted are covered in the three acticles below. I conclude some of the content of each to give you an idea of what there.

Automotive Designer: How to Start a Career in Automotive Design

The primary thing I like about this article was a list of schools at the end.

Program Coursework
http://education-portal.com/automotive_design_degrees.html

Automotive engineering technology coursework typically begins with computer-aided drafting and design classes, followed by discussions of materials, systems diagnoses and design strategies. Most programs culminate with students designing their own vehicle components or completing an internship with an automotive engineer. Possible course offerings include:

Calculus
Physics
Computer-aided drafting
Computer-aided design
Design materials
Manufacturing design
Interior design
Engine design
Metallurgy


Automotive Designer Job Duties

Automotive Designers use sketches, models and prototypes from their knowledge of engineering principles to draft layouts and drawings of automobile components, assemblies and systems. Automotive Designers develop innovative designs for automobiles that fit consumerâs needs and that reflect a companyâs image and values by basing their results from calculations, mathematical formulas and computerized work aids. Automotive Designers will collaborate with automotive engineers to determine factors that may affect design proposals by using previous car models and understanding manufacturing limitations.

Automotive Designers Career Outlook

Automotive Designers need to expect tough competition in this industry due to an increasing demand for highly technical and fuel-efficient automobiles. Automotive Designers average annual salary reported in 2006 was $54,560, while California, Massachusetts and Michigan showed the highest annual salary to be in the range of $71,350 to $77,320, which was reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov. According to the BLS, industrial design positions are expected to increase by 7% in the year 2016.

Automotive Designer Educational Prerequisites

To enter the Automotive Design career, you must obtain either an Associates of Science in Automotive Design or a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design or a similar degree. Relevant coursework from institutions accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design, provide relevant courses such as, mathematics, physical science, engineering, manufacturing methods, industrial materials, computer-aided design, sketching and other related courses. Many programs may offer internships for Automotive Designers, according to Car Design News, www.cardesignnews.com, at car companies where part-time work is available which allows potential employees to gain valuable experience.
