Asalam Alaikum guys,
Hope you all are doing good. Well as most of you know that how much keen i am in designing/sketching cars, i decided a few months back that after completing my A Levels i am gonna take up Automotive Designing at University level. But after consulting a few people already studying Automotive Designing and after surfing the internet, what i came across was that Automotive Designing is a very risky profession and if you have a side business/backup job already running you can take up Automotive Designing. Here is what a member on another Car Design forum said to me:
The drop out rate is about 80% for transportation design students here, and the passing rate is half of whoever is left at the end of the semester. And at the end of the program, out of the 5 people that are left, and who are graduating, about 3 get jobs.
So far so good, now i have made my mind to take up Automotive Engineering at university level. Though its a little difficult as compared to Automotive Designing as it involves Mathematics but more vacancies are available for Automotive Engineers. I also recently got my O Levels result and the subjects needed to take up Automotive Engineering i.e Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry, I MashAllah got A Grade, B Grade and A Grade respectively in them. Now my query is that can you guys please suggest me some good foreign universities offering Automotive Engineering? Preferably in USA or Canada (i'll consider UK one's too). Also i was looking at the Automotive Engineering course offered at Warwick University but i have heard its very expensive? Can anyone quote that how much will it cost to get into Warwick University and the cost for living in the UK (Coventry) for 4 years? I'll be very thankful to you guys if you can answer my queries. And please do pray for me that i succeed in achieving my goals. Thank You.
Regards,
Fahad H.
