Where can I find the best colleges for automobile engineering?

Hi, I'm seriously considering pursuing automobile engineering as a career. I know there are well-known engineering schools, but are there specific colleges/universities that excel in automobile engineering?

Hi there! It's great that you're considering a career in automobile engineering. While there are many top engineering schools that offer strong mechanical engineering programs, some stand out for their automobile engineering focus or research opportunities. Here are a few notable examples in the United States:

1. University of Michigan - Ann Arbor: The Automotive Engineering program at Michigan is highly regarded for its cutting-edge research and close relationships with the automotive industry. They offer both undergraduate and graduate programs specifically focused on automotive engineering.

2. Kettering University: Located in Michigan, Kettering offers a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with an Automotive Engineering Systems concentration. Their co-op program allows students to gain real-world experience in the automotive industry while studying.

3. Clemson University: Clemson's International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR) offers a Master of Science program in Automotive Engineering. While they don't have a specific undergraduate degree in automotive engineering, students can still get involved in automotive projects at the institute.

4. Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI): IUPUI has a Motorsports Engineering program that may be of interest, joining the expertise in automotive and racing technology. This specialized program offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees.

5. Michigan Technological University: Michigan Tech offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering with an emphasis in Automotive Systems. Students can also pursue hands-on experiences working with the SAE Baja, Formula SAE, and Clean Snowmobile teams.

Keep in mind that many other top engineering schools will have strong mechanical engineering programs that can still equip you with the skills you need for a career in automobile engineering. Any program with a robust curriculum in mechanical engineering, internships/co-ops, and opportunities to participate in projects and clubs related to automotive engineering would be a great starting point. Good luck!
