Course Overview
This course begins with a high-level engine system overview and then dives into the details of component and system design, performance, control, and failure. Understand torque (versus speed characteristics) of your engine within thermodynamic, emission, and mechanical limits to meet customer requirements. You will also learn how to identify critical variables and design parameters controlling intake, the combustion chamber, and exhaust flows through the engine and aftertreatment systems. The course culminates in a comparison of aftertreatment system architecture across all major vehicle classifications.
