The Automotive Engineering: Automobile Fundamentals and Advanced Course is a multidisciplinary course where you will study the fundamental concepts regarding the Engineering and Operation of Cars, including physics topics, mechanics, materials, transmission, engine operation and more. My intention is that you fully understand the main topics regarding the Design and Engineering of Cars and other vehicles, so that you grasp clearly how to design Cars and how to size their components and choose their materials.
The course is aimed at providing a solid background in Automotive Engineering so that you can scale up your knowledge in the topic and gain confidence in your own skills. The course is about uniting Engineering and Technical skills for an overall improved know-how of Cars.
The structure of the Course is the following:
Introduction
Vehicle Dynamics
Materials Science
Chassis
Engine
Transmission
We will discuss topics such as the design of the Chassis as it evolved over time and current trends, the forces acting on cars including cornering force, traction and more. We will also get a bit more theoretical studying fictitious forces, vehicle dynamics and much more!
The objectives of the Course are for you to understand the basics and some advanced concepts in the development and design of Automobiles. This will be done in a similar way as studied in Engineering schools, from the fundamental physics concepts to the real application in cars today. The concepts you will learn will enable you to work confidently in Automotive Projects as well as to expand your knowledge in this topic.
I encourage you to begin this journey to Automotive Engineering, you won't regret it! If you have any doubts during the course feel free to contact me, I will answer as quick as possible!
