With the recent explosion of interest in electric vehicles, the
field of automotive design and engineering is now offering a huge
opportunity for designers. University engineering programs are rapidly
restructuring to accommodate the demand, and the automotive industry
is being revolutionized similarly. Body aerodynamics, lightweight
composite frames, high output brushless motors, high energy density
storage batteries, electronic and high power control circuitry,
active suspension systems, autonomous steering, collision avoidance
and survival, parking, braking, climate control, driver awareness
monitoring, wireless connectivity, satellite navigation systems,
and much more now goes into vehicle design. This field is wide open
to innovation.
