Hi Harsh,
You may take arts with maths.
*Prepare for college auto design programs with high school classes in both arts and sciences.
*Take courses in drawing and drafting, ideally supplemented by classes in computer design.
*Prepare paper and digital portfolios of your work to showcase your design skills to prospective colleges.
*In terms of high school subjects, art and design qualifications are therefore an absolute must, so too is being able to work fluently with numbers, in order to cope with basic calculations for engineering topics, such as 3D volumes, aerodynamics or model scales. Therefore, good grades in maths or physics are the next key priority.
*Most Transportation Design courses will require you to demonstrate your creative and artistic talent before short-listing you for an interview or offering a place, so good 2D drawing skills remain the prerequisite requirement.
