'''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]] <ref>{{Cite web|title = the definition of aerospace-engineering|url = http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/aerospace-engineering|website = Dictionary.com|access-date = 2016-02-08}}</ref> is the branch of engineering that deals with the design, development, testing, and production of aircraft and related systems (aeronautical engineering) and of spacecraft, missiles, rocket-propulsion systems, and other equipment operating beyond the earth's atmosphere(astronautical engineering) 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.

==Rolling stock==
[[Rolling stock]] comprises all the vehicles that move on a railway. It usually includes both powered and unpowered vehicles, for example locomotives, railroad cars, coaches, and wagons.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.yaxham-light-railway.fsnet.co.uk/Rolling_Stock/rolling_stock.html |title=Yaxham Light Railway rolling stock page}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://dictionary.oed.com/cgi/entry/50208215?single=1&query_type=word&queryword=rolling-stock&first=1&max_to_show=10 |title=Definition of "rolling stock" from the Oxford English Dictionary accessed 5 February 2007 (subscription service) }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/rollingstock?view=uk |title=Definition of "rolling stock" from the Concise Oxford Dictionary}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bartleby.com/61/0/R0290000.html |title=Definition from the American Heritage Dictionary}}</ref>

==Naval architecture==
[[Naval architecture]] also known as [[Naval engineering]] is an [[engineering]] discipline dealing with the design, construction, maintenance and operation of marine vessels and structures.<ref>[http://www.rina.org.uk/careers_in_naval_architecture.html RINA – Careers in Naval Architecture]</ref><ref>Biran, Adrian; (2003).
