For example, in motor vehicles, there are several components that have their own functions and tasks that are typical in automotive.
Now, if you want to know anything about automotive science, here is the explanation.
Reported from the Auto2000 page, as stated above, automotive in-depth lessons include planning, development, production, and maintenance. This is the explanation.
1. Perencanaan (product design)
Ilmu Otomotif Perencanaan yaitu mempelajari tentang rancangan kendaraan, mulai dari perumusan gagasan, perencanaan produksi kendaraan, cara kerja kendaraan, dan cara untuk mewujudkan gagasan itu sendiri.
2. Pengembangan (development)
Ilmu yang dipelajari dalam dunia otomif selanjutnya adalah pengembangan. Pengembangan otomotif adalah mempelajari tentang menyusun kelanjutan kendaraan agar tetap sesuai dengan prosedur keamanan, kenyamanan, hingga memperhatikan tingkat efisiensi.
3. Produksi (manufacture)
Untuk pembelajaran otomotif produksi lebih kepada cara pembuatan kendaraan hingga metode penyusunannya sampai menjadi sebuah kendaraan yang bisa berfungsi. Jadi, pembelajaran ini lebih kepada teknis kendaraan.
4. Perawatan (maintenance)
Untuk ilmu pembelajaran otomotif berikutnya yaitu perawatan yang mempelajari lebih spesifik mengenai teknik perawatan kendaraan yang telah tercipta, baik itu melalui kontrol mesin maupun penggantian suku cadang.
Selain itu, ilmu mengenai otomotif juga meliputi mengenai sistem mesin, sistem pembakaran, sistem pengapian, sistem pembuangan, rangkaian penggerak, sistem kemudi, dan masih banyak lagi.
