What you’ll be able to do

  • Estimate engine displacement requirements and assess trade-offs between displacement and supercharging

  • Assess the trade-offs between various engine configurations and relate them to the specific needs of your application

  • Evaluate the work of product planners and market researchers in determining new product opportunities and requirements

  • Comparatively assess the various materials and processing choices for cylinder block and head design and make design decisions based on weight, durability, and cost requirements for particular engine applications

  • Create a design for an overall engine system layout including package dimensions, durability, cost, and installation

  • Evaluate reliability analysis and accelerated testing and the considerations that determine the required durability development effort for a new engine
