Course Description

Engines are composed of various disciplines and are used not only for automobiles but also in various fields.In this lecture, we will focus on basic matters mainly on automobile engines, and learn about the structure, function, operation and operation of engines and parts. You will also study the theory of cycle, combustion, specifications and thermodynamics. You will also learn the basics of rotary engines, gas turbine engines, jet engines and rocket engines.
This class is mainly a lecture style, but exercises are conducted in a pair work, etc., and the answers are presented by everyone to discuss the whole. In the 14th session, group work and presentations on the issues will be given.
And in this class, you will acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes about DP2, DP3 and DP4.

Course Objectives

Students acquire basic knowledge about the structure and function of various engines, the overall operation principle, and thermodynamics. The goal is to understand the engine and its importance as a power source for cars and industries. Students will acquire the theory of the engine and the ability to apply it, and will be able to envision the future of the engine for a sustainable society.

Grading Policy

Evaluate on final exam (80%) and midterm test (20%).
In addition, the answer will be explained after the examination and the intermediate test. An example answer is shown in LMS.

Requirements(Assignments)

As a preparation course, please read the class contents posted on the LMS and read through the applicable range of textbooks and reference books to understand the contents. In addition, some homework such as assignments will be shown almost every time, so please do it by the next round. Approximately one hour for preparation and two hours for assignments and reviews.

Note

Engine structure theory is an elective for the Automotive Engineering course.
A quiz will be conducted in the 7th session to confirm intermediate understanding. In addition to using the LMS for self-directed learning support, we will also implement Mobile-MARS test and questionnaire functions as an interactive class.
