Vehicle engineering

Vehicle engineering is a sub discipline of mechanical engineering that encompasses the fields of automotive engineering, aerospace engineering, rolling stock and marine engineering. Vehicle engineering is a sub discipline of mechanical engineering that encompasses the fields of automotive engineering, aerospace engineering, rolling stock and marine engineering. Automotive engineering is the design, manufacture and operation of motorcycles, automobiles and trucks and their respective engineering subsystems. The work of an automobile down into three categories: Design: Designing new products and improving existing ones Research and Development: Finding solutions to engineering problems Production: Planning and designing new production processes Aerospace engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the design, development, testing, and production of aircraft and related systems (aeronautical engineering) and of spacecraft, missiles, rocket-propulsion systems, and other equipment operating beyond the earth's atmosphere (astronautical engineering). Aeronautics is the study of the science of flight. Aeronautics is the method of designing an airplane or other flying machine. There are four basic areas that aeronautical engineers must understand in order to be able to design planes. To design a plane, engineers must understand all of these elements. Astronautics is the design and development of spacecraft with an emphasis on spacecraft systems (including launch vehicles, satellites, and their subsystems), the design of ground control systems for spacecraft, and the design of orbital mechanics for spacecraft missions. Rolling stock comprises all the vehicles that move on a railway. It usually includes both powered and unpowered vehicles, for example locomotives, railroad cars, coaches, and wagons.
