Description

Motorized road vehicles are one of the most influential inventions of the 20th century. Still today, in the 21st century, they are being improved and redesigned to be more efficient and more safe for their users. This course will help you understand and will teach you the physics that happens when vehicles move (or stay static). You will see how simple everything is once it is broken into pieces. It is interesting how many details and little stuff happens behind the scenes of these machines we see and use every day. If you are a car enthusiast or an engineer working in the industry, this course will be a great addition to your knowledge.

The course is made for:

Mechanical engineers and students
Traffic engineers
Software developers working in the automotive industry
Software developers working in the video game industry
Automotive enthusiasts
Mechanics and technicians

The last section of the course is a practical one, where you will learn to analyze various parameters of a given automobile. The course won't give you the technical details about how certain components work but will teach you to analyze the motion and the mechanics of a vehicle as a whole. The introduction part is made so it will get you acquainted with all of the physics and math you will need in order to continue with learning about vehicle dynamics.
