was interested in a wide variety of subjects. When he was a young boy he went 
on foot to Moscow to get his education. He entered Moscow Academy and 
became one of its best pupils. He was sent to St Petersburg and then to Ger-
many to continue his further education. In 1741 he returned to St Petersburg 
Academy of Sciences.
M.V. Lomonosov was the first who delivered public lectures on physics 
in the Russian language. He also established the first chemical laboratory 
at the Imperial Academy in 1748. And on his initiative Moscow University 
was founded in 1755. At present Moscow University is named after M.V. 
Lomonosov.
It is impossible to name a phenomenon which M.V. Lomonosov did not 
try to explain. He described the Earth structure, explained the origin of many 
minerals, foretold the importance of Siberia. He systematized knowledge in 
philosophy, natural science, history, language, and engineering. His scientific 
activities influenced greatly the development of Russia.
MODULE 4
AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING
The automobile has undergone significant changes largely due to advance-
ments in the
 
automotive engineering
industry. Behind every car, truck, bus or 
bike on the roads and in the store there is an automobile engineer who played 
a key role in their design and construction. Because of the massive amount 
of vehicles on the roads today, the automobile engineering industry has a lot 
of responsibility both to ensure the safety of those vehicles and to make them 
more efficient.
Automobile engineering employs different engineering disciplines to assist 
in the design and manufacture of any kind of vehicles such as cars and buses, 
bikes and trucks. So, for example, one automobile engineer is in charge of 
working on the body of the vehicle to make sure that it is as aerodynamic as 
possible. It leads to performance maximization and makes sure that a vehicle 
uses as little fuel as possible. While another is working on the structural in-
tegrity of the vehicle to make sure that in case of any sort of crash, the people 
inside the vehicle are as protected as possible, and so on. If you imagine all the 
components that make up a vehicle, then it is clear that there is someone who 
is responsible for making sure that a vehicle functions properly. Some of these 
jobs and tasks overlap. To make sure that all these subsystems of the car work 
together there is generally a systems engineer or a development engineer who 
has an overseer role.
