The vehicle electrical systems, including components such as the battery, starter, and alternator. The battery provides energy to the starter. The alternator provides the battery the energy it requires to power the vehicle.
The computer-aided design (CAD) software for creating, modifying, analysing or optimising a design.
The understanding of how an ecosystem functions and its relationship to environmental planning and design.
The various types of technical drawings used in relation to motor vehicles parts.
The national and international requirements, specifications and guidelines to ensure that products, services and processes are of good quality and fit for purpose.
Gather information about the current trends and styles of vehicles, and the need for new products or services.
Calculate design costs to make sure the project is financially viable.
Calculate and determine the functional, physical, structural, geometrical and size dimensions for the parts necessary to create machines or equipment.
Adjust designs of products or parts of products so that they meet requirements.
Determine the amount and the kind of materals necessary to build certain machines or equipment.

The process of developing a mathematical representation of any three-dimensional surface of an object via specialised software. The product is called a 3D model. It can be displayed as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering or used in a computer simulation of physical phenomena. The model can also be physically created using 3D printing devices.
The drawings detailing the design of products, tools, and engineering systems.
The characteristics and functioning of software programs for office tasks such as word processing, spreadsheets, presentation, email and database.
The processes of packaging or protecting products for distribution, storage and sale.
Processes for the design and development of packaging, including decorating and printing processes and packaging machinery and line operations.

Without neglecting more traditional techniques and materials, monitor materials innovation such as new resin, plastic, paints, metals, etc. Develop ability to use them and include them in design projects.
Attend meetings to discuss the status of current projects and to be briefed on new projects.
Communicate and collaborate with fellow designers in order to coordinate new products and designs.
Read and comprehend engineering manuals and publications; test engines in order to evaluate engine performance.
Give consent to the finished engineering design to go over to the actual manufacturing and assembly of the product.
Work closely and communicate with engineers on designs or new products.
Identify the workflow and resource requirements for a particular process, using a variety of tools such as process simulation software, flowcharting and scale models.
Developing new designs mastering specialised software.
