ENGINE DESIGN I

EPD 623

Provides an advanced understanding of internal combustion engine design.

EPD 627

Problem definition and planning, tool selection, model construction, calibration, application and data presentation in order to integrate the most appropriate modeling tools into an engine design and development project.

EPD 630

Builds further experience in engine development project organization; materials and processes; and engine validation. Project organization lessons emphasizing the phases of engine development and the importance of a design freeze with increased scrutiny of design modifications as the engine progresses toward production. Additional engine system components and processes such as forging, plastic molding, and billet machining. Reliability validation expanded to component and system-level validation through rig and engine testing. Test plans calibrated to engine volumes and cost in order to develop an appropriate mechanical development and reliability plan.

EPD 624

Provides a physically based understanding of combustion, efficiency, and exhaust emission formation and control in internal combustion engines.

EPD 625

Provides a physically based understanding of gas dynamics with applications to internal combustion engines.
