'''Vehicle engineering''' encompasses the fields of [[automotive engineering]], [[aerospace engineering]], [[rolling stock]] and [[Naval architecture|marine engineering]].

==Automotive engineering==
[[Automotive engineering]] is the design, manufacture and operation of motorcycles, automobiles, buses and trucks and their respective engineering subsystems.Automotive engineering is one of the most exciting professions you can choose. From the global concerns of sustainable mobility, and teaching cars to drive themselves, to working out how we’ll get around on the surface of Mars, automotive engineering is all about the future. The work of an automobile down into three categories:

'''[[Design]]''': Designing new products and improving existing ones

'''[[Research]] and Development''': Finding solutions to engineering problems

'''Production''': Planning and designing new production processes

==Aerospace engineering==

[[Aerospace engineering]] is the application of engineering principles to aerospace systems such as aircraft, spacecraft, and ground control systems.<ref>''Encyclopedia of Aerospace Engineering''. [[Wiley & Sons]]. October 2010. ISBN 978-0-470-75440-5.</ref> Formerly known as Aeronautical engineering, concerns the design, construction, and science of both air and space vehicles, primarily on the systems level. Further concerned with the science of force and physics that are particular only to performance in [[Atmosphere of Earth|Earth's atmosphere]] and the expanse of [[space.]]. 

===Aeronautics===
[[Aeronautics]] is the design and development of [[aircraft]] and [[air traffic control]] systems.

===Astronautics===
[[Astronautics]] is the design and development of spacecraft with an emphasis on spacecraft systems, the design of ground control systems for spacecraft, and the design of [[orbital mechanics]] for spacecraft missions.
