This course is designed to provide you with advanced knowledge of the power-train in vehicles. The course will provide you the opportunity to learn to solve problems in engine performance and emissions of the whole power-train.

This course will cover:
* Performance analysis of the internal combustion engine; comparison of SI and Diesel performance
* Methods of mixture preparation; ignition, combustion, emissions and emissions control.
* Basic thermodynamics of the engine; ideal cycles, heat and its determination.
* Fuel chemistry and mixture preparation.
* The basic structure of the engine. Elements of engine design.
* Future power-train technologies and regulatory standards, The course will also cover alternative propulsion and deal with hybrid engines.
* Gas-exchange and boosting the intake manifold pressure.
