This course introduces students to internal combustion engines, their efficiency and pollutants emission. It looks at the various emerging power technologies in the automotive industry and the current and alternative fuels and combustion processes. Choice of fuel and the design of efficient engine operating parameters and their by-products will also be discussed. 400 Level GET 402 Engineering Project I (2 Units C: PH 90) Learning Outcomes At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. complete the design phase of a complex engineering problem sourced from industry or community during the SIWES III programme; and 2. demonstrate the connection between engineering product-making and the theoretical courses they have learned following the applicable industry best practices. Course Contents In the second semester of the 400-level students, preferably in groups, work from the university on the identified industry or organization to tackle industry complex engineering problems. Theoretical issues may be provided by the department faculty or industry experts. During the vacation, students will now work full time with the organisation/industry on the project as part of the SIWES III. The students can also go beyond the department and engage in multidisciplinary undertakings. Literature survey, review of existing systems etc. must be achieved to a satisfactory extent. GET 404 Engineering Valuation and Appraisal (2 Units C: LH 30) Learning Outcomes At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. identify at least three (3) objectives of engineering valuation work, valuer's primary duty and responsibility and valuation terminologies; 2. describe at least four (4) Valuer's obligation to his or her client, to other valuers, and to the society; 3. demonstrate with example the engineering valuation methods, valuation standards, and practices; 4. prepare engineering valuation and appraisal reports and review; 5. discuss expert witnessing and ethics in valuation; and 6. determine price, cost, value, depreciation and obsolescence in real property, personal property, personal property, machinery and equipment, oil, gas, mines, and quarries valuation. Course Content Objectives of valuation work/ valuer's primary duty and responsibility. Valuer's obligation to his or her client, to other valuers, and to the society. Valuation methods and practices. Valuation reports. Expert witnessing. Ethics in valuation. Valuation standards. Price, cost and value. Depreciation and obsolescence. Valuation terminology.

Examination of different materials used in the automotive industry, including metals, ceramics and composites. Discussion of selection of the appropriate material for a variety of applications in terms of the materials’ properties, ease of manufacture and performance in the anticipated service environment. Case studies of selected materials in the design application of each of these materials for automotive parts. The course develops an understanding of the mechanics of complex practical situations through the establishment and solution of an appropriate boundary value problem.
