Design car engineers can expect an exciting and satisfying career in future, provided they follow certain guidelines given below.

• Focus on innovation and creativity to develop new concepts, instead of only studying existing designs and making minor changes in design.
• Improve analytical skills and adopt mathematical approach for all design problems.
• Use simulation techniques such as FEA and CFD whenever relevant in order to reduce design iteration time.
• Ensure alignment with the goals and objectives of the management, and feel free to ask for necessary resources for development.
• Update information and knowledge on materials, new technologies, etc. periodically, and believe that learning is a continuous process.

The scope for a bright design engineer is vast, since there is a shortage of hard core design engineers, though there are thousands of engineering colleges that “mass produce” automobile engineers in the country.
