something dealing with engineering (i would think).

Chemical engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical enginnering.

I’d think mechanical engineering of some sort… You may even be able to find an automotive engineering major somewhere.

Engineering. Probably mechanical… not too sure on that part, but engineering would probably be the field to go in.

Science, and Auto. Depends on what your school has, but some kinds of tech courses on cars. You would also need chemistry.

Not exactly sure what specific major but for sure engineering, electrical, mechanical any of them really. Just depends on what specific part of the vehicle you want to work with.

That will depend on what turns out to be the best solution for a truly successful vehicle. We really don’t have that yet. Part of the problems will be solved by engineering, so an automotive engineering degree. The other solutions will be in chemistry and not necessarily petrochemestry. It really will take an inventor or two. So choose the area that you have the most talent and interest. Engineering doesn’t pay a lot and they often want you to work 60hrs a week. I’ve been working on computers and the shuttle, and maybe I should go back to inventing but it doesn’t pay a regular wage that you can bank on.
So there are no easy answers. You have to figure out first if you want to just maintain a job or find financing and work for yourself. Do you want to be a small cog in a big wheel or a big cog in a small wheel, that may grow? Where do you want to live to follow your dream? Some professionals can live anywhere in a common job. Others are specialist and may be limited to a narrow choice of places and companies.

Environmental engineering,with classes in solar power.electrical &chemical engineering would be good choices

Engineering: Chemical, Electrical, Electronic, Computers, Metallurgical, Mechanical

it seems as though hybrid vehicles are the first step into a transition to all-electric cars. I’d go with mechanical engineering to get your foot in the door somewhere working on hybrids, but make sure to learn as much about electrical engineering as you can while you’re in school so you can show a potential employer that you’ll be an asset for electrical developments as well.

Wolf Harper said in March 16th, 2009 at 3:58 am    

Electrical engineering, especially high power electronics. The next generation of cars is going to be a simple generator, a simple AC induction motor, a simple battery… an a slug of really complicated electronics in the middle. Get it right you make a lot of money, get it wrong make magic smoke. Therein will lie the sophistication of tomorrow’s car.

P.S. As always, young men will want to hot-rod their cars. Help them :)
