Vehicle engineering

Vehicle engineering encompasses the fields of automotive engineering, aerospace engineering, rolling stock and marine engineering

Automotive engineering

Automotive engineering is the design, manufacture and operation of motorcycles, automobiles and trucks and their respective engineering subsystems. Automotive engineering is one of the most exciting professions you can choose. From the global concerns of sustainable mobility, and teaching cars to drive themselves, to working out how we’ll get around on the surface of Mars, automotive engineering is all about the future. The work of an automobile down into three categories:

Design: Designing new products and improving existing ones

Research and Development: Finding solutions to engineering problems

Production: Planning and designing new production processes

Aerospace engineering

Aerospace engineering [2] is the branch of engineering that deals with the design, development, testing, and production of aircraft and related systems (aeronautical engineering) and of spacecraft, missiles, rocket-propulsion systems, and other equipment operating beyond the earth's atmosphere(astronautical engineering) Further concerned with the science of force and physics that are particular only to performance in Earth's atmosphere and the expanse of space.

Definition

Aeronautics[3] is the study of the science of flight. Aeronautics is the method of designing an airplane or other flying machine. There are four basic areas that aeronautical engineers must understand in order to be able to design planes. To design a plane, engineers must understand all of these elements.

Design Process

Astronautics

Astronautics is the design and development of spacecraft with an emphasis on spacecraft systems, the design of ground control systems for spacecraft, and the design of orbital mechanics for spacecraft missions.

Rolling stock

Rolling stock comprises all the vehicles that move on a railway. It usually includes both powered and unpowered vehicles, for example locomotives, railroad cars, coaches, and wagons.[5][6][7][8]

Naval architecture

Naval architecture also known as Naval engineering is an engineering discipline dealing with the design, construction, maintenance and operation of marine vessels and structures.[9][10]
