Course description

Automobiles are systems in which almost all of the basic theories learned in the field of mechanical engineering are used. The power source to automobiles is changing from engine to electricity, but many mechanisms for the function of the automobiles system will continue to be used and developed in the future. In this course, we will learn about the major mechanisms of automobiles that have been cultivated over 100 years of history, as well as the shapes, materials, and functions of the parts that support them.

Purpose of class

By linking the basic theory learned in mechanical engineering with the mechanisms actually used, the design ability required of mechanical engineers is fostered.

Goals and objectives

Understand the mechanisms and machine elements that are actually used in automobiles, and make discussions about them with mechanical engineers.
Acquire an ability to apply the knowledge of mechanical engineering obtained in the lecture to the development of mechanisms.
Acquire an ability to explain the rationality and inevitability of the mechanism used in a car by engineering.
