AUTE 4070U – Chassis Systems Design

This course is designed to introduce the students to fundamentals of typical design methods and procedures of automotive vehicle chassis including sub-systems of steering mechanisms, suspensions and brakes. The student will develop the ability to design typical chassis constructional arrangements and the sub-systems through selecting appropriate constructions and determining basic parameters based on design principles, physical laws, standards, design criteria and constraints. The students will learn basic approaches for evaluating vehicle chassis and corresponding sub-systems based on constructional and functional design analysis. Some design experience will be gained by completing required design projects.
