CAREER JOBS

By Scott Bandola

Automotive Engineering Automotive engineering involves the design

and production of vehicles. The automotive industry requires engineers to work in areas such as mechanical design, performance, manufacturing, electrical engineering and systems management. I’m interested in cars a lot and the way that are built and I wanted to design one of them someday.

ValuesBeing an automotive engineer have a lot of values. First they offer clean and safe work area to work in daily. They also do Health Insurance, Dental Insurance, Flexible spending Account, Vision Insurance, Health saving accounts, life insurance, supplemental life insurance, Disability Insurance, Accidental Death And Dismemberment Insurance, 401k Plan, Retirement Plan, Vacation & Paid Time Off, sick days, Paid Holidays, Bereavement Leave, Company social Events. Which is kind of awesome.

Task and ResponsibilitiesMechanical engineers must provide engineering designing and

guidance alongside other team members to develop better and more advanced ways of production of an object or tool. Also, they must be able to solve complex problems where analysis of a situation and data in-depth evaluation are required in order to meet the requirement of the customer. Mechanical engineers must as well be able to work with other engineers and production personnel not to only develop but also to maintain the manufacturing process. Also, this type of engineer as well as any other kind of engineer must be able to prepare and present technical status reviews to show its customers overall improvement of a give task or project.

Working with Data-People-Thing

Engineer use different kind of technology to make and improve the parts of cars or other stuff to make a certain object way better. Engineer spends a lot of time talking to people to work together to built something better. Engineer use different kind of machine to put parts in certain object and to make the job easier.

Work Environment

Engineer work mostly in manufacturing industries, architectural and engineering services, and research and development.

Working Hours

can involve shifts or 9 to 5 office hours. The motor sport industry requires weekend hours.

Aptitudes and Abilities

The field of automotive engineering is extremely complex and requires a specific sort of mind and skills set. Automotive engineers must be creative, detail-oriented individuals with a knack for mathematics, physics and problem-solving. Because they often work in large design teams, automotive engineers should be good with people and able to cooperate well with others. Automotive engineers must also be extremely knowledgeable about cars, parts, engines and car safety laws.

Education and Training

An automotive engineer's career training begins with a four-year bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university. This is generally the basic requirement for entry-level jobs in the career. While pursing their bachelor's degree, students take classes in a range of fields, including physics, mathematics, design and computer science. Certain programs also require core courses in the humanities, in areas such as English or philosophy. The first two years typically consist of foundational classes in math and science, while the last two or three years consist of more engineering-specific courses. Aspiring automotive engineers should pursue a degree in mechanical engineering or a related engineering field.

Salary and Benefits The average pay for automotive engineers was $82,100 in 2013 according to the BLS. Those in the 10th percentile averaged $52,600 per year while those in the 25th percentile earned $65,400. Automotive engineers in the 75th percentile averaged $102,800 per year and those in the 90th percentile earned $123,300 per year annually. The benefits of being an engineer is they have Health Insurance, Dental Insurance, Flexible spending Account, Vision Insurance, Health saving accounts, life insurance, supplemental life insurance, Disability Insurance, Accidental Death And Dismemberment Insurance, 401k Plan, Retirement Plan, Vacation & Paid Time Off, sick days, Paid Holidays, Bereavement Leave, Company social Events, this is the benefits that’s have high % reporting.

Career outlook and International career outlook

Employment of mechanical engineers is projected to grow 5 percent from 2012 to 2022, slower than the average for all occupations. Job prospects may be best for those who stay informed regarding the most recent advances in technology. Mechanical engineers can work in many industries and on many types of projects. As a result, their growth rate will differ by the industries that employ them.

Computer Engineering

Computer engineering combines computer science and electronic engineering in order to design computer technology from the very small, such as microprocessors, to the very big, such as supercomputers. The reason I’m interested in Computer engineering because I really like how the computers works and I want to built a way better computer and its seem fun to do it.
