Q: I write from India; currently I am in my last year of pre-university schooling. I am very interested in engineering, and especially automobile engineering. I am really interested in designing automobiles. What are the top engineering schools in the world where I could pursue these interests?
(1) Automobiles are designed mostly by mechanical engineers, though increasingly electrical and computer Engineers are responsible for important subsystems. (For a bibliography on Automobile Engineering, see the collection assembled by T.J. Misa:
http://www.tc.umn.edu/~tmisa/biblios/automobile.html)
(2) Almost all good mechanical engineering programs have an automobile design component, and if you choose one of the highly ranked mechanical engineering programs you can hardly go wrong.
(3) The abbreviated US News and World Report rankings of engineering programs are available here:

(4) A graduate program ranking (US) is available here (schools with strong graduate programs in mechanical engineering often have very good undergraduate programs in mechanical engineering as well):
