@Basoonitup - RHIT posted recently on Facebook about sending a bunch of female students to a major auto event and attending a dinner hosted by Ford. Apparently this is the third year they attended. Here is the article from a prior year: http://www.rose-hulman.edu/news/academics/2013/students-explore-automotive-innovations,-career-opportunities-at-north-american-auto-show.aspx.
I don’t know much about opportunities in that industry other than what’s on-line since my D is ChemE. Feel free to PM me if you have specific questions though and I can ask my D to check with her ME/EE/etc. friends.
Best of luck in your decision process!
