<p>So is it possible to break into the automotive industry as a ChemE?</p>

<p>I am interested in engines, alternative fuels(getting the car to run on it), and on how to make cars safer/better etc.</p>

<p>So I am wondering if I should keep on with my ChemE major or just switch on to MechE? maybe even Materials Engineering for car materials?</p>

<p>If it helps, I am also interested in other vehicles such as helicopters, etc working on those. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Yes it is very much likely that you can get into the automotive industry with a ChemE degree. I saw some openings and positions at Tesla in their battery sector for ChemE’s and I currently know one ChemE working at a very large car company here in the U.S. (Toyota).</p>
