Is it difficult to get a job engineering in the automotive industry for 2011?
I am a sophomore engineering mechanical engineering school in the U.S. top 5 and i want to continue my interest in cars. my dad and my brother is discouraging to be in this field, layoffs are high in the automotive industry. i dun believe in them because they are judged on the basis of my cousin who is 40 years without a formal engineering work mechanics. I want to know if it specializes in automotive engineering would be a good idea in mechanical engineering and would not have enough jobs for the year 2011 in the automotive industry. Ideally, I want to work with the design or construction of automobiles. There is a program offered by my school to learn and build F1 cars and raced them. Answer this if you're an engineer or in the automotive industry as Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, GM, etc. I do not think working with high performance but rather on the cars fuel efficient.
Hard to get a job, but depends on the economy and what businesses will survive the next years. It is difficult to get a job and the design of new internal combustion engine, almost impossible. Bone up on knowledge of electronics, electric car is the future. Ethanol, hydrogen, coal, natural gas, oil and gas energy are basically the same thing and can fit a diesel engine to run all of them (that would gasify coal, of course). While the combustion of hydrogen does not waste the others do and we can not afford debris. The current demand for the hybrid shows the direction the automotive industry must have, but the U.S. auto industry is slow to change, SUVs still want to sell high gas consumption and use of more efficient engines to haul around more weight. Electricity is more efficient and has more potential, we can create more forms and through forms that never run out. The only limit current battery technology, and when the price of lithium battery reduces it will become the new standard. The U.S. auto industry remain locked in the internal combustion engine, albeit with lower demand and growing. Japan make the adjustment. Germany has become almost all the national electricity grid to solar energy so that they too are willing to do the adaptation. The countries are selling more cars in the U.S. the native U.S. distributors. Nations and automotive industries are nimble enough to change. So how is German, and how is it Japanese? If you want a job in the automotive industry in 4 years, then stick with the technology current, but if you want a job in 10 years, then you better go or you will find mail obsolete. You can take a prudent course, though, the laws of aerodynamics will not change the need for security and requirements will increase only. The suspension design will improve, but only on the basis of current technology. All other systems and processes that make a car design will remain the same and still needs to be so we recommend to leave the combustion engine specializing in domestic and all other systems, especially the aerodynamics of electric cars and take over more and more important. If you look at a car the 1950's and a car the 1970 and 2000 car the biggest change you notice is its aerodynamics. Seat belts and air bags are the changes design more subtle and easier to make, but is creating a car that can fly and still embrace the way a task that will be eternal. Even within 100 years when the car finally can take off from the ground, the aerodynamics will be important. In summary: – Knowing that AutoCAD is the way the car will be designed and modeling, testing and first conceived. – Learn the dynamics of fluids, the core of aerodynamics (air is considered a light fluid), which is always an important part of car design and has been a great improvement over the past 50 years. It has been the biggest change in body styling and design. – Consider the opportunity to learn Japanese or German, and immigration, as it will be at the forefront of the industry. – Organic chemistry knowledge will plastics and how they are made. – Structure and dynamics tell you how to make the car strong and stand up. – The resistance of the materials will tell you how make some of the materials in the car. – Electronics will be the last. – The Japanese and the Germans are doing it. No I'm not an engineer, but I know the field. My father was a mechanical engineer and spent his entire career as a security engineer at work on the spacecraft with Boeing and NASA. He was a rocket scientist but did not rocket science in school, in fact was not even a field when he was studying. He joined the space industry shortly after the time when more rockets exploded on the platform was removed, and manned space flight was a wild flight of imagination. Have the learner to design F1 cars, that experience is invaluable and what companies are looking for. Racing has always been at the forefront of car design. This demonstrates a real commitment to the automotive industry. Do not specialize in the internal combustion engine will be replaced though.
