Study Notes
Engineering Students
- Engineers should understand maths, chemistry, and the manufacturing process
- Working with pharmaceuticals, food, and minerals
- Problem solving and project design skills are important
- Interesting design projects include the Channel Tunnel and the Three Gorges Dam
- Design in road building and the environment, specialized courses are important
- Design of systems like computers, controllers, and power systems
- Designing washing machines, cars, and spacecraft
- Creating high-quality products at cost-effective prices and on time is critical
- Project management, team work, and financial knowledge are essential aspects of engineering
Automotive Design
- Car development takes a long time, starting from research to final development
- Understanding consumer needs and preferences is important
- Initial design ideas are converted into tangible parts
- Prototypes are crucial during design phase
- Prototypes are extensively tested
- Product planners and managers oversee the process to ensure time and budget constraints are met
- Marketing teams are responsible for selling the cars
- Multiple designs and development stages occur within a typical company
Automobile Models & Bodywork
- Automobiles have improved over the years in mechanics and design
- Car models have wider range (bus, executive, 4x4 jeep, lorry, luxury)
- Major part of car manufacture takes place in the body shop (shaping and painting)
- Body shaping and painting processes, including equipment, are vital
- Body panel, casting, cutting fibreglass, forging, press shop, spray gun, and stamping are part of the process
- Machine operators use steel
