Re-assessment
Students who fail this module overall and are required to complete a re-assessment will be re-assessed by exam. The re-assessment exam mark alone will be used to determine whether students satisfy progression requirements.
Target Students
Primarily for 4th/3rd year students in the School of Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Engineering.
Assessment
- 100% Exam 1 (2-hour)
Assessed by end of autumn semester
Educational Aims
The aim of this module is to provide students with the knowledge of internal combustion engine fundamentals, design and performance. The module also develops the skills to analyse engine behaviour and formulate design specifications to meet performance requirements through the selection/application of appropriate models.Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module students will be able to:
LO1 – Comprehend the fundamental knowledge of design, operation and performance of internal combustion engines, developments of technology and practices in the automotive industry (knowledge and comprehension)
LO2 – Apply the fundamental knowledge and understanding at an advanced level to the analysis of internal combustion engine problems (application)
LO3 – Analyse critically standard engine systems, current industry design trends and the developments in internal combustion engine technology (analysis)
LO4 – Formulate appropriate techniques/models to analyse and interpret advanced problems within the context of internal combustion engines (synthesis)
LO5 – Appraise engineering design solutions using an appropriate level of explanation showing evidence of judgement in selection of analysis techniques, given a specification of the required performance attributes of an internal combustion engine or sub-system (evaluation)
