This course introduces students to the application,of vehicle systems and packaging as an important,element of modern vehicle design work. Topics,covered include applied vehicle packaging,,occupant packaging with an eye toward equity and,inclusion, safety considerations, vehicle size,,weight and frontal area, electrical systems,,powertrain, chassis, as well as the engineering,sciences of aerodynamics and manufacturing and,assembly. Sustainable life-cycle considerations,will also be covered, including modularity,,repurposing, design for disassembly, maintenance,and other leading edge factors.<\/p>
