What universities offer a degree in automotive engineering?

Answer 1

AnswerTo answer this question accurately, we need to know which kind of automotive engineering you are referring to. If you are referring to automotive technology, there are many community colleges that now offer an Associates of Applied Science degree in this area. It is a very hands on career oriented program designed to give the student all the expertise he/she needs in order to enter the field after completion of the two year program.

If you are referring to automobile/vehicle engineering as a professional degree, it requires the completion of as engineering degree at a four year college or university.

Automotive engineering is a branch of Vehicle engineering, incorporating elements of mechanical, electrical, electronic, software and safety engineering as applied to the design, manufacture and operation of automobiles, buses and trucks and their respective engineering subsystems.

Automotive engineering is broken down into three main categories.

1. Product Engineering
2. Development Engineering
3. Manufacturing Engineering

Most larger four year colleges and/or universities will offer programs of study in engineering. You can contact - just to start - a four year institution nearest you. Then ask for the engineering department. You may then ask the department secretary for an appointment with the department chairperson. He/she will know exactly how to guide you for this chosen career. The four engineering program will be much more challenging because of the higher level chemistries, physics, and mathematics required, to include Calculus I, II, III, and differential equations etc.

Answer 2

Almost every county vocational school will offer training in Automotive Technology. However, many community colleges are now offering an Associates of Applied Science Degree in Automotive Technology. Check with your home county community college for more detail.

WARNING!!!

When choosing a college or university within the United States, make sure the institution has a regional accreditation. With a regional accreditation you can be assured the coursework and degree you complete will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers. Below I have listed the six regional accrediting agencies and their geographical areas of responsibility. I am disclosing the below so you do not become a victim of educational scams, institutions that are nothing more than diploma mills, or that do not have the best accreditation, and are eager to take your money for a degree that is worthless. Make sure the institution is accredited by one of following responsible agencies.
