- Powertrain Design (AUTE 3290U)
This course introduces the fundamental design principles, general design procedures, typical constructional arrangements, and basic parameter selection of essential components and subsystems of automotive powertrains. Topics covered include evaluation of various power plant and driveline characteristics on vehicle acceleration performance and fuel economy, manual transmission design, automatic transmission design. The principles of electrical and hybrid electrical vehicle propulsion systems will also be introduced. Students will develop the ability to design typical automotive powertrain components and subsystems through selecting appropriate constructions and determining basic design variables based on design principles, physical laws, legislations, criteria and constraints. Some design experience will be gained by completing required laboratory reports and design projects. - Chassis Systems Design (AUTE 4070U)
This course is designed to introduce the students to fundamentals of typical design methods and procedures of automotive vehicle chassis including sub-systems of steering mechanisms, suspensions and brakes. The student will develop the ability to design typical chassis constructional arrangements and the sub-systems through selecting appropriate constructions and determining basic parameters based on design principles, physical laws, standards, design criteria and constraints. The students will learn basic approaches for evaluating vehicle chassis and corresponding sub-systems based on constructional and functional design analysis. Some design experience will be gained by completing required design projects. - Automotive Vehicle Dynamics (ENGR 5310G)
