The aim of this module is to complete the students' education and training in the particular discipline by asking them to tackle a reasonably challenging engineering problem. The problem should involve the student:

• carrying out background research, preparatory work, planning and preliminary investigations;
• extending their knowledge, demonstrating initiative and communicating the results to the appropriate engineering community.

The aim of this module is for the student to understand the processes and factors involved in making decisions and the level of development required to define a concept vehicle. They will progress from an initial idea to a concept vehicle with major sub-systems defined with strong justification based on engineering knowledge and competitor bench marking. They will also outline a business case for the vehicle and understand the processes used to manage vehicle programmes.

The aim of this module is for the student to understand the fundamentals of acoustics and the application to the design of noise control and mitigation in vehicles, with particular application to the luxury market and growth markets, taking into account sustainable design of communities, legal aspects and planning.

The aim of this module is for the student to understand basic concepts, fundamental principles and some important issues encountered in the analysis and design of advanced fibre-reinforced composite structures.

The aim of this module is for the student to understand the principles of vehicle dynamics and approaches to approximate the vehicle performance in longitudinal and vertical directions, assisted by simulation techniques.

Further aims to consolidate earlier fundamental learning about dynamics, systems, and signals, to investigate the key factors that determine the vehicle dynamics and prepare basic knowledge and abilities (modelling and simulation) for further study.

An experience of vehicle testing, and associated data analysis will enhance the knowledge understanding. The application of simulation techniques will also enlighten students on new methods and tools for future vehicle design.

The aim of this module is for students to understand the fundamental principles of CFD and to learn the basic methodologies incorporated in modern commercial CFD packages.

The aim of this module is for the students to understand the fundamentals of sensor fusion and their applications to aeronautical and automotive engineering problems.

The aim of this module is for the student:

• To learn how to derive and employ finite element methods to solve stress-strain, steady-state heat flow and vibrational problems.
• To implement these methods computationally using Matlab to allow for static analysis of automotive and aerospace structures.
• To introduce the use of the FEM commercial software, MSC Nastran and Patran.

The aim of this module is for students to understand the fundamentals of aerodynamics as applied to ground vehicles.

The aim of this module is for students to understand car occupant protection in crashes via best practice through crash energy management. Crash energy control via good design of restraint systems and crash deformation of body structures will be explored. Comparisons between crashworthiness in test settings and real world situations will be explored in order to inform approaches to crash safety.

The aims of this module are to:

• Understand the fundamental and principles of machine intelligence.
• Understand their applications to aeronautical and automotive engineering problems.

The aims of this module are to:

• Enable the student to understand the principle theories and operation of electrified vehicle and aircraft powertrains with a focus on battery technology.
• Further aims are to understand the key developments in this field, establish knowledge in electrochemical processes and gain experience in the operation and performance analysis of batteries.

This is a 10 credit module from the University-wide language programme.
