Involves designing and building of prototype vehicles. Topics include: vehicle design decisions, rules, budgets, chassis design, body and aerodynamics, drive train choices, construction techniques, and test procedures. An actual experimental car will be built in this class. May be repeated.
This course covers advanced vehicle propulsion systems within the electric and hybrid electric category. Fundamentals of the operation of electric motors, controllers, inverters, and batteries utilized in electric and hybrid platforms will be covered. In addition a significant focus will be placed on the application, modeling, integration, testing, and optimization of the systems in electric and hybrid electric vehicles.
Automotive research techniques and equipment form the basis for this course. Environmental measurement, air flow testing, engine dynamometer testing, and vehicle performance measurement are covered. Emphasis is placed on research procedures, data acquisition and interpretation, and technical report writing. Current research projects from the automotive industry are also examined.
Selected automotive topics.
An in-depth laboratory experience involving the evaluation of existing automotive emission control systems and the design or modification of those systems. Emission testing using chemical analysis and chassis dynamometer as required in state and federal test procedures is also included.
This course is intended for individuals wishing to be employed in professional automotive racing as a product development engineer, technical representative for a race product supplier, or race engineer. An in-depth study of vehicle dynamics and engine design utilizing on-board data acquisition, air flow measurement, and the engine dynamometer.

The course is the first in a three course sequence focused on the specific skills important for the design of research and development programs. This course will primarily focus will be on four areas: the US Code of Federal Regulations as it relates to mobile source air quality; the measurement of evaporative emissions from vehicles; the process of measuring diluted emissions; and the measurement of raw gas emissions. A research question will be identified and students in the course will work as a research team and carry out the activity.
This course is the second of a three course sequence in applied research methods. The course will focus on the specific skills important for the design of research and development programs. The course will specifically cover the following areas: US Environmental Protection Agency testing standards for vehicles and engines; the calibration procedures for chassis and engine dynamometers and the calibration procedures for exhaust gas analysis equipment. A research question will be identified and students in the course will work as a research team and carry out the activity.
This course is the third of a 3 course sequence in applied research methods. The course will focus on the specific skills important for the design of research and development programs. The topics covered in this course relate to the management of research projects including: research plan development; budget development; scheduling and time management; leadership; and report preparation. A research question will be identified and students in the course will work as a research team and carry out the activity.
The course will focus on the specific skills important for the design of research and development programs. A research question will be identified and students in the course will work as a research team and carry out the activity. The primary activity will be the creation of a mathematical model that can be used in relation to the applied research activity. The course is an elective and would be taken after the AET 661, AET 662 and AET 663 sequence.
A minimum of 2 credits is required.
