Students engage in the analysis, testing, and evaluation of internal combustion engines and their subsystems with a goal toward understanding the principles affecting performance and efficiency. Spark ignition and compression ignition engine systems are studied in detail, with laboratory events designed to connect theory and practice. Material explores modern technologies in use and under development which function to increase powerplant efficiency and decrease emissions. A series of design problems is interspersed throughout the course along with a semester long engineering design project.

An introductory course on internal combustion engines covering basic theory, analysis, design, testing, and evaluation of automotive powerplants. Course material is intended to provide an understanding of the guiding principles and competing demands associated with power generation on modern ground mobility systems. Main topics include thermodynamic cycles, engine subsystems, heat transfer, and emissions. Theory is verified with hands on experience in engines laboratory exercises and vehicle performance practicums utilizing a military vehicle. A semester long engineering project challenges cadets to design, analyze, and 3D print an engine component.
Students engage in the analysis, testing and evaluation of internal combustion engines and their subsystems with a view toward understanding the underlying principles which affect their design. Spark ignition and compression ignition engine systems are studied in detail with laboratory opportunities to relate theory to practice. A series of component design problems is interspersed throughout the course.
