Automobile Engineering

Aerospace and automotive are two major manufacturing industries - also old industries born over a century ago; they have drastically evolved in the past 30 years in terms of product performance, leveraging high technologies and significantly reducing time-to-market. Both industries rely on rigorous quality requirements, advanced materials, electronics and embedded systems, mechanical components, engines, structures, (.) as well as robust New Product Introduction (NPI) and enabling Product Life-cycle Management (PLM).
Aerospace is a generic term that includes commercial aircraft, planes and helicopters, military and defence, ground equipment and space.
The aerospace industry has a strong certification and compliance requirement, with consequences on development cost and technology solutions. The automotive industry requires perhaps less formal processes, though there is a significant focus on compliance and regulations.
Overall both have a great scope in varied sector domains.

Hi there,
Before coming to the placements of automobile engineering at DY Patil School of Engineering And Technology, let me list some of the insights of this course.
Automobile Engineering is a branch of engineering which deals with designing, manufacturing and operating automobiles. It is a segment of vehicle engineering which deals with motorcycles, buses, trucks, etc. It includes mechanical, electrical, electronic, software and safety elements.
Placements
The placements stats of the college is not pretty much satisfying, however, if you maintain your CGPA and indulge in various group projects then you will surely get placed.

Automobile engineering is a branch of Mechanical engineering, where you'll deal mostly with automobile, whereas in Mechanical engineering, you'll deal with all machines and its design and then many more basics. But literally both are same, no big difference. Syllabus of Automobile engineering overlaps with Mechanical engineering between 80 to 90%. Compulsory courses on engineering drawing, workshop, instrumentation, Thermodynamics, Strength of material, theory of machines, heat transfer, Refrigeration etc are common in both Mechanical and Automobile engineering but additional like automotive chassis, engine, dynamics, body engineering suspension, transmission, automotive electronics & electrical are separate
Automobile engineering is a niche branch thus it has less opportunities in comparison to Mechanical engineering graduates. Mechanical engineers are employed in Automobile industry but Automobile engineers may not be preferred in core mechanical jobs.
