In this module, the objective is to familiarize the student with both the traditional (ICE) and electric powertrain concepts. While Electric Vehicles will eventually make it to the market, the ICE will always be continuously optimized and researched upon. When you finish the first two modules, you will be quite familiar with the following topics.

Vehicle Handling and Dynamics are very important for the safety and performance of cars. Depending on the car segment, different suspension architecture exists. How are these architectures proposed, designed and developed? Well, that is what you will focus on in this particular module.

A well-designed part helps keep passengers safe and Finite Element Analysis plays a key part in the development of such parts. Techniques such as steady-state and transient methods are used to estimate the strength of parts under linear and non-linear conditions. When you finish this module, you will learn which simulation methodologies need to be used for which type of parts and loads combinations.

Learning a CAD Package(s) is not design. Designing is a problem solving technique, where you create a product that satisfies several constraints. These constraints can be technical and non-technical.

Understanding flow behavior is extremely critical in obtaining peak performance from various sub-systems that make up a vehicle. From intake systems to the cylinder to the after-treatment components, every inch of piping, bends, and curves has been carefully designed to satisfy the requirements of several teams.
