Students engage in the analysis, testing, and evaluation of automotive powertrains and their subsystems with a goal toward understanding the principles affecting vehicle dynamics and platform performance. Wheeled systems are studied in detail, with laboratory events designed to connect theory and practice. A series of design problems is interspersed throughout the course along with a semester long engineering design project.
