Within automotive engineering, there are several subdisciplines, including safety, performance, vehicle dynamics, fuel economy, cost, manufacturing, and more. Those looking to pursue automotive engineering should be aware that most universities do not offer it as an undergraduate major. The most common major to start with is mechanical engineering. With this degree, you either enter the automotive workforce or continue your education, specifically automotive engineering. During your studies, you’ll want to explore as much of the field as you can, joining clubs like the Society of Automotive Engineers to enter different competitions. This will give you something to put on your resume, as well as direct experience that is valuable to your career. A hot field of research right now is autonomous vehicles. This is where you will see a lot more specialists than just mechanical engineers. These projects require people from all kinds of backgrounds, including electrical engineers, computer engineers, materials engineers, computer scientists, and more. However, there are other areas of research that are briefly mentioned in the video that go beyond self-driving cars. Article in Forbes Magazine: https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/20...
