Emphasis on the development of transportation systems for the movement of people and industrial cargo. Lecture one hour, laboratory four hours. The efficient use of energy resources and the development of safe and efficient transportation systems represent two of the greatest problems facing present and future society. People are transported by automobiles, buses, trains, ships, aircrafts, and bicycles. Goods, such as food, merchandise, and fuels like natural gas and coal are transported in several ways including trains, trucks, ships, aircrafts, pipelines and conveyers.
Energy is the full for all transportation systems.
Without energy engines that power transportation systems could not function. Explain and discuss the evolution and need for transportation systems. List and explain the common types of transportation systems in use today and discuss future transportation and energy needs. Discuss energy resources and principles of energy conservation. Discuss and explain design principles materials and parts of two and four cycle utility engines, automotive engines and marine engines.
