What you’ll be able to do
Identify the major steps and resource requirements for a new engine development project
Develop a basic engine layout utilizing input from this course and Engine Design I
Document the design with sufficient depth (calculation, assumptions, base dimensions) that the concept engine could be assigned to a design team to begin detail design
Integrate the learning, knowledge, and skills from the various disciplines of engine development to the total engine design process
Develop methods for making the necessary compromises and trade-offs during the concept/initial design layout stages of the engine
