  • Many people make a mistake by studying automotive engineering just because they think they like cars, but it's not like that at all.
    In this video I explain why automotive engineering major may not be what you actually want, and share my story as an engineering student in automotive major.

    Working on cars at a used car dealership isn't Automotive Engineering. The work you were doing was automotive repair as an automotive technician. You are misinforming people. There are actual 4 year degree's where someone studies Automotive Engineering.

    So as a current student of Automotive Engineering.....as Automotive engineers you are required to design, simulate, and fabricate solutions to problems that arise infront of you. As an Automotive Engineer you are incharge of a team that works together to solve a problem that a company may be having with their product and need you to design a solution that is effective and efficient.

    I'm glad I know what I want. I can sit under a car and stare at it for hours, just looking at things and seeing how it works. If I'm stressed I jack my car up and I look over things and just think about how I can improve the engineering. I don't have much money but I definitely know that I want to be an automotive engineer. I watch people build custom brackets for their cars just for fun 😐

    I agree that the skill to troubleshoot a problem is more important than actually fixing the problem because it applies to everything. I was a military vehicle mechanic for almost a decade, and the thing that made my job fun was the troubleshooting part. As soon as I figure out the problem, the excitement wears off.

    Root cause analysis is just one part of automotive engineering, nevertheless an important one!
    If you want to get a job as an automotive engineer, there may be other things that you will find interesting.
    As an automotive engineer I owned several lighting components. It’s wild to see stuff you modeled on the computer drive by (even if it’s a small component). I also found working with the industrial design team super fascinating.
    Designers will push you to find new methods of manufacturing, you will have to then push the supplier and provide reasoning on why it can be done, and it’s also awesome to be able to see designs 5-10 years ahead, and what brand identity really means.
    The company will also push you to find the most cost efficient solution to a problem. This is also something I deeply enjoy, it’s like a game (e.g can we remove these 2 screws to save minutes if assembly and design a snap fit?)
    There is so much more to automotive engineering. I hope nobody is discouraged from pursuing and trying it out.
