.... the world. It takes many of these engineers to produce a car and typically each engineer has a specific job, such as the car's frame. These engineers work independently on their assigned tasks, but they all are aware of what the other engineers are working on. This is because all of the work each engineer produces must work in unison with the work their colleagues are doing so that all the work produced functions as one; as an automobile. Another important factor in the production of an automobile is safety. There are many different safety devices on cars today which save thousands of l .....
