3.00 Credits
Introduction to systems thinking as applied to the description, modeling and control of vehicle systems. Theory and function of the most common vehicle systems, including the engine, fuel, exhaust, lubrication, cooling, power electronics, controls, transmission, steering, braking, suspension, tires, chassis and vehicle body systems are covered. Preq: MATH 1080 and PHYS 1220 and PHYS 1240. Preq or concurrent enrollment: ME 2050 and PHYS 2210.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to help students understand the energy transfer process within a single vehicle and between a vehicle and its surrounding environment such as electric charging infrastructure, renewable energy sources, and the power grid. Basic energy components are introduced along with an overview of vehicle charging, grid integration, and fossil fuels versus renewable low-carbon fuels. The concept of life-cycle CO2 emissions and the impact of each energy carrier on life-cycle CO2 are discussed. Preq: MATH 2060 and PHYS 2210.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an in-depth analysis of a vehicle?s powertrain components and the energy conversion processes, including combustion engines, batteries, electric motors, and fuel cells. The details of energy conversion and storage in hybrids and EVs and propulsion systems and sub-system design is discussed. Powertrain operational requirements are discussed in the context of vehicle-level performance, fuel economy, and emissions. Preq: AUE 3010 and ME 2030.
-
3.00 Credits
Covers the automotive order-to-delivery process, beginning at the system level with an overview of supply chain and factory organization, and continuing with coverage of critical manufacturing technologies and support systems. The course relates system requirements to major materials and design architectures, with special emphasis on the evolution of vehicle designs in recent years and how they have driven changes in automotive manufacturing strategy. Key performance indicators are reviewed, including details of modeling cost for manufacturing operations. Preq: AUE 2020 with a grade of C or higher and ECE 2070 and MATH 1080.
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamental concepts in the dynamic behavior of ground vehicles, mainly two- and four-wheeled vehicles, are discussed. The application of dynamic systems modeling and analysis are stressed to bring understanding to ride performance, handling and straight-line running, as well as practical considerations in vehicle design. Preq: ME 3050.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces the concept of mobility systems engineering and new product development. Students learn through project-based learning and application of product development, innovation management, and concept validation through engineering tools. The project follows the automotive industry standard APQP/PPAP process and culminates with a prototype build and final demonstration. Preq: ENGR 1410 (or ENGR 1070 and ENGR 1080 and ENGR 1090) and ENGR 2080.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides hands-on laboratory experience in vehicle testing and characterization. It combines the instrumentation of vehicles and the acquisition and analysis of data for evaluating typical vehicle dynamics and powertrain performance on modern vehicles. Typical auto industry test instrumentation, equipment and processes are introduced. Preq: ENGR 1410 (or ENGR 1070 and ENGR 1080 and ENGR 1090); and ENGR 2080 and ME 3050. Coreq: AUE 4081.
-
0.00 Credits
Non-credit laboratory to accompany AUE 4080. Coreq: AUE 4080.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides a theoretical and practical foundation for design/analysis of articulated mechanical systems in automotive applications (e.g. Ackerman steering, Suspension systems). Vector and matrix methods are employed for formulation with an emphasis on developing and cross-validating analytical, hand-coded computational and CAE simulation models. Preq: MATH 3650 and ME 2060.
-
3.00 Credits
This fundamental automotive electronics course covers automotive electronic systems, automotive sensors, automotive actuators, automotive batteries and buses, automotive controllers, automotive sensing signal processing technologies, automotive control technologies, and hands-on embedded automotive electronics practice. Preq: AUE 2020 with a grade of C or better and ECE 2070 and ME 2060. Preq or concurrent enrollment: ME 3050.
