The aim of this module is for the student to carry out background research, preparatory work, planning, and preliminary investigations to support the completion of the automotive project module in semester 3.

The aim of this module is to develop understanding of technology for low emission and zero emission automotive powertrain systems.

This module considers the latest design issues in car body engineering. The fundamentals of several related topics are introduced, including: vehicle loading; advanced mechanics of stress and strain analysis; crash structure, failure and crash impact response, and biomechanical tolerance of humans to crash forces; and advanced finite element method (FEM) techniques including for nonlinear and dynamic transient analyses, and the use of specialist commercial FEM software.

The aims of this module are to provide an overview of autonomous vehicle systems and to familiarise the student with autonomous vehicle control methods, sensor fusion techniques, autonomous path planning/following algorithms and basic autonomous functions.

The aims of this module are to introduce key aspects of the aerodynamics and computational fluid dynamics and applications in relation to their application in the automotive industry.
