In a Polytechnic in Automobile Engineering, students study a wide range of subjects that help them understand how vehicles work from the inside out. The course begins with basic engineering subjects and gradually moves into advanced automobile topics. You learn Automobile Mechanics, where you study how engines, gearboxes, brakes, and suspension systems function. This gives you a strong foundation in the working of different types of vehicles.
You also study Electrical and Electronic Systems, which cover vehicle wiring, sensors, battery systems, lighting, ignition systems, and modern electronic controls used in today’s cars. With the growing use of technology in automobiles, these subjects help you learn how to handle diagnostic tools and troubleshoot electronic faults.
Another important part of the course is CAD/CAM, where you learn computer-aided design and manufacturing. This helps you understand how vehicle parts are designed on software and how machines produce these components. You also study Fuel Technology, which teaches you about petrol, diesel, CNG, hybrid systems, and even new energy sources.
Modern subjects like Electric Vehicle (EV) Technology are also included. These teach you about batteries, motors, charging systems, and the future of mobility. Along with these, you participate in Workshop Practices, where you get hands-on experience in repairing, servicing, and maintaining vehicles.
