Automotive Engineer
Automotive engineering involves the combination of mechanical, electrical, electronic, and whole lots. Designing and manufacturing and operating on cars, trucks, and motorcycles, and many more. Manufacturing is the process of building or coming up with tools needed for making the projects successful. The main function in automotive engineering is production, developing, manufacturing. Designing, customizing, testing vehicles, fabricating, are what automotive engineering is pretty much about.
Automotive/Mechanical engineers responsibilities are really a whole lot; they research, design, develop, in order to come up with an idea to create a project. One has to be artistic in order to come up with a plan or drawings for the project. One has to check for the area of the product that has being causing failures in the project. To design or make some machines as a mechanical engineer I will need a computer soft wares. In order to make new machines, I will have to discuss with my managers and engineers in order to know their expectations.
Main reason why I chose the career is because the requirements for the career matches my interest, and I love to work on cars. Being able to communicate in group is very important, and good communicating skills, and also being able to solve problems, are the requirements needed for a mechanical engineer. I am able to qualify for all this requirements because I have what I takes. Things working mechanically looks awesome to me. Like in the olden days we were traveling by boats, or animals, or walking. But now we have cars, airplane, trains, bicycles, and whole lots, we have many ways not travel by foot now, which has help improve our economy.
I have really grown interest in this career, want to have more experience in thus field. Their salary kind of mainly depends on your experience, education. Mostly some mechanical engineers earn around $50,000 to $60,000 a year. As you work your way out and develop in experience you can earn around $100,000 to $130,000. Mechanical engineers work with product designers to combine their knowledge in order to create a successful product.
Product design is one of the computer programming skills. Product designers are supposed to be familiar with their company product standard in order to be able to represent the company brand. Product design engineers are also to keep up with the newest trend and also take care of consumers’ needs when designing products. Also they have to update the company’s designs or improve their developmental standards.
Plastic designer produces toys, food containers, and car parts. They also use computer in order to come up with the plastic products. A minimum of a bachelor’s degree is required to be plastic designer. They earn around $91,310 a year.
Some responsibilities of a designing engineer is come up with new skills of materials, and instruction of ways in order to develop it. They also have to perform test on engineering model created in order to confirm maintenance. They have to build models, and design it with purchasing team. Purchasing teams help to find the best source of goods to bring and sell to the costumers.
