Course Summary:

Suspension, Steering, and Breaking 33:12 minutes

Conclude your survey of automotive engineering by studying the three systems that control a vehicle: suspension, steering, and braking. Begin with the technology that’s vital to all three: your tires. Close by analyzing the antilock braking system (ABS), learning how it works and how it knows when to engage.

Highway Engineering 30:40 minutes

Step into the work boots of a highway engineer, tasked with designing a freeway across hilly terrain to connect two other highways. Discover that features of a safe road that you take for granted—constant-radius curves, gentle grade, sturdy construction, and a well-drained surface require detailed planning.

Learning Objective:

By the end of this course the student will be able to list the three systems that control a vehicle: suspension, steering and braking, and understand that features of a safe road that you take for granted—constant-radius curves, gentle grade, sturdy construction, and a well-drained surface require detailed planning.
