ENGR 5274G - Design of Sustainable Mobility Systems

Urban air pollution is a major issue of concern today. This course examines various sustainable mobility systems, wherein future vehicles pollute less and consume less fuel than existing transportation systems. Topics cover the design and development strategies for Hybrids and Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles, Electric Vehicles, Natural Gas, Biofules and Flex Fuels Vehicles as well as Advanced Gasoline Engines. The students will learn how to use appropriate engineering design methods and apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering science into creatively solving design problems with realistic constraints while using state-of-the-art engineering CAD/CAM/CAE tools, incorporating engineering standards and communicating effectively their work.
