[edit] Vehicle Engineering

Vehicle engineering is a sub-genre, of harmless dupes who spend most of their time organising drives and hiring cars. Typically it is a job given to ambitious graduates who are better at brown-nosing than real engineering. (?)--Altermike 15:48, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mechanical Engineering bias

The article is based almost exclusively on the mechanical aspects of design only. A significant proportion of the value of a vehicle is in the electronics and associated software. The main product differentiators nowadays relate not just to mechanical styling, but to the electrics, electronics, driver assistance and associated applications. Vehicles can be made to look attractive in different ways, but the feature sets have become more and more significant. PD (talk) 22:22, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] General Article Cleanup Tag

I added the general article cleanup tag because I believe the article would benefit greatly from some revisions and additions. I am not an expert on automotive engineering, so I am not necessarily the man for the job. I will, however, do what I can to clarify and improve the article. I will make usage, spelling, and punctuation corrections as I find them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. wingman358 05:21, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Career Path

Could someone with experience in the matter please add a write up, or some information on how someone could pursue a career in automotive engineering? I.E what classes one should take, what major to focus in, or where to go after schooling? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eman3b (talk • contribs) 16:43, August 21, 2007 (UTC).

In the first instance most automotive engineers will get a full engineering degree (not technology) typically in automotive, mechanical or electrical engineering. In the USA this means that the course should be ABET accredited. Before, or while they are at university they should find internships in automotive OEMs or Tier 1 suppliers.
