My Basic Auto body Design
- We chose to use the body style of a sedan. We chose to use it because it’s our favorite body style and it is a reliable car, also it is endurant and tough.
- In my final design, I would like to have a rear-view camera for parking along with blind spot detection similar to the newer cars.
- I would name the car the X4 and I think Honda should manufacture it because it s similar looking to some of the other cars they make.
- I think this car would be appealing to newer drivers because it is safer than a lot of other cars. The target market is new drivers.
- On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate this assignment about a 5 because it wasn’t really difficult, it just took some time.

My Basic Automotive Design Part 1
- I think 3D printing could help the industry to design new parts and pieces, but I don’t think they will make a difference for production because an assembly line is a much faster way to produce more vehicles
- I think cars might eventually be manufactured like this because people may want to have custom models made specifically to fit their guidelines, and using 3D printing would be a lot easier than an assembly line.
- If I could use a 3D printer to make anything, I would have a car custom made to fit my size, and I would have it look exactly how I would want it to.
- I would want a luxury body style because they are very comfortable and fancy .

Automotive Body Styles Part 2 of 2
1. One thing I found surprising about the design process is that they make a clay car design first which would probably take a long time to do.
2. The designer has to consider if the new car looks dramatically different and if the car looks to old fashioned.
3. General motors introduced the first clay making model. Its most likely used today because they clay models are more easy to use.
4. Some advantages of the computer model methods is that is faster and more efficient.

Automobile styles and designs. part 1
1. SUV- Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV s) have existed since the 1930s but experienced explosive popularity during the mid-1990s. Built on a truck frame, SUVs harnesses utility attributes and powerful engine performance. One of the first popular SUVs in the United States was the Jeep originally conceived based on a demand for a four-wheel drive vehicle during World War II.
2. Truck- Trucks or pickup trucks are the workhorses of the auto industry. Found with an open, flat bed for hauling a variety of cargo, pickup trucks can be fitted with three cabin options. If looking at a truck, choosing the right kind for a specific lifestyle can prove very difficult. It’s wise for a buyer to seriously realize their needs and not purchase a truck that may be too limited or excessive in capacity.
3. Sedan- A long-running and popular body style among car buyers around the world, the sedan adapts nicely to almost any automotive lifestyle. Whether you are a single person or part of a family of five, a sedan provides several useful features such as four doors and a separate trunk storage area. Sedans are unofficially classified under the category family sedan, sports sedan or luxury sedan.
4. Sport- Rarely practical, sports cars are intent to create an atmosphere of fun for the driver on the streets or possibly on the race track. On-road performers, sports cars do not adhere stringently to any specific body style criteria allowing a driver to decide on a vehicle matching their individual tastes and lifestyle. Sport cars can be built using coupe, convertible as well as sedan body styles.
5. luxury- A luxury car is considered the peak of driving comfort and aspires to provide the most rewarding sensation of motoring. Based on the oddity and expense of early automobiles, the luxury car category was actually one of the first vehicle types established. One key element of a luxury car is their higher cost to conventional automobiles. Brand prestige, but also technology causes the price of luxury cars to be greater. Due to the advance in technology, many automotive features first appear on luxury cars prior to being fully implemented for the mass market. Electric starter, air conditioning and HID headlights are some items that were introduced on luxury cars over decades.

Don't overlook automotive technology as a high-tech career path.
1. Some high-tech on automobiles that were not around 30 years ago are rear view cameras, Bluetooth, blind spot protection warnings, aux, etc.
2. Areas where young people should have skills for a career for a automotive technician is math, science and communications.
3. Some advantages in obtaining an education as a automotive technician because the industry is expected to add 237,500 new jobs.
4. There are expected to add 237,500 new jobs and have a 30 percent up to 2020.
5. The automotive technician career is immune too computer programming, customer call-center work, and accounting services.
6. Four other positions that a automotive technician can do are collision repair, painting, and damage estimating and vehicle maintenance.
7. It is called a portal career because many people have started their careers in the automotive aftermarket as an auto technician that it is viewed as something of a portal career.
1. One aspect of being an automotive technician that I think I would enjoy, is learning how to work on my own vehicle so I could save money by doing it myself.
2. It was interesting that we can do an apprenticeship while we're in collage and get paid while we do it. So we can earn while we learn.
3. It is a life-long learning job because automobile technology changes every year and it is important because you have to learn about the new stuff in cars.
4. Some skills people should have when entering the career as a automotive technician is communication skills, should be reliable, and the should be have skills in hands on work.
