Automotive Engineering?

<< < (2/3) > >>

m@tty:
For Aerospace at Monash you graduate as an accredited mechanical engineer AS WELL AS an aeronautical engineer. And yeah for things like aerodynamics there would be some advantage. I'm not sure how much more likely you are to be chosen over a graduate from a mechanical course, but the automotive industry is definitely one of the major career paths for aerospace graduates.

Just one more question, i see you guys are currently studying aerospace. With the course itself, is it much to do with planes as such? Like for example is the aerodynamics section focused on planes or in general? Just don't want to get into something that im not going to happy with lol :S

It only specializes in planes in years 3 and 4 where, yes, it becomes highly specialized in planes, plane components and plane dynamics. Years 1 and 2 are all Physics, Mathematics and General Engineering theory

Thanks for that enwiabe :) in your opinion, which would be the best pathway to get into the automotive industry?

slothpomba:
Automotive engineering is more or less a subset of mechanical...at least thats what they told me at melbourne.

If you're sure you want to do automotive engineering why bother with all that aerospace stuff, sure it looks more fancy and all but it's not really what you want to do. Go for mechanical i reckon, most uni's AFAIK have a common first year anyway. So, you have at least a year to decide.
