TME180 TME180 Automotive engineering project lp1 HT22 (15 hp)

Course is offered by the department of Mechanics and Maritime Sciences

Course purpose

The aim of the Automotive Engineering Project is to provide possibilities for the students to participate in development projects, to train problem-oriented learning and to act in an automotive engineering environment. The projects have focus on early product development, i.e concept study phases and test and evaluation of physical prototypes or simulation models. The course is limited to ground vehicles.

Course design

As it is a project course, the main work in TME180 is team-based and specific to the goals defined for each individual project. The course also includes lectures that provide guidance in organizing group work, communication, and contributing in a team as an engineer. You are expected to be proactive and visible in the project planning, execution, and in presenting the results.

Learning objectives

A. work in a project

  1. Individually, and in group identify and formulate automotive engineering questions and problems and to plan and perform the project within given time frame
  2. Define project goals, deliverables, scope, time planning, stake holders, roles and responsibilities for the group members
  3. Deal with open problems, including handling of uncertainties, limited information, identification and assessments of risks and changes
  4. work in team and to identify, combine and use own and the team members different competencies and skills in an efficient way

B. develop an automotive product or system

  1. Follow a systematic methodology based on customer value (interaction with the "customer" and understanding of the value that can be created from the customers needs) 
  2. Apply previously developed knowledge and skills on theory, methods, experiments and CAE tools to work with industrial problems and simulations within automotive engineering development
  3. Create/apply suitable simulation models and experiment to solve a specific automotive engineering problem 
  4. Create an assessible prototype or model of the chosen solution and to evaluate if it meets the specification and the requirements

C. present and evaluate the project

  1. In written and orally present the project and argue and defend the developed technical solution
  2. Evaluate if the project has reached the objectives and possibly analyze necessary actions to reach these objectives
  3. Identify ethical aspects and make ethical judgements in automotive engineering development work
  4. reflect upon and assess own and other group members individual contributions, skills and roles in relation to the project
