INTRODUCTION:

Automotive industry is going through a transition where design of new vehicles is dictated by cost, fuel efficiency and safety. Rising petroleum fuel price and stringent emission norms demand continuous improvement in fuel saving technologies. At the same time, high power vehicles with increased vehicle speed require precise vehicle control and the highest safety. These requirements along with a need to lower the production cost have given way to develop and use advanced technologies in engine and vehicle control. The Common Rail Diesel Injection, GDI, PFI systems are some of the few technologies which have decreased the fuel consumption and engine emissions and improved engine response. This has been achieved thorough more sensors and computer controls through ECU. In last decade, mechatronics has revolutionized the way engine and vehicle is governed and safety is achieved in modern automobiles. For continuous improvement in engine efficiency, vehicle handling, comfort and safety, professionals working in automotive engineering need to be trained in advanced technologies.

OBJECTIVES:

This short-term course is aimed at providing fundamental knowledge to the participants on above-mentioned technologies. Broadly, the course will focus on engine technologies, vehicle dynamics and handling, engine and powertrain diagnostics, mechatronics and advanced materials. Mathematical modeling of different systems will also be covered with emphasis to automotive applications.

COURSE CONTENTS:

The course is organized to cover theoretical aspects and practical implementation of advanced technologies in automotive industry. This will include broad areas like vehicle dynamics, engines, automotive mechatronics and energy-environment aspects. The lectures will cover following topics:
