Course Objectives This course aims to provide the student with basic gear theory (types of gears, gear wear, bearings, basic gear adjustments, gear trains and transmission, drivetrain); engine, transmission, transmission gears, final drive and differential; gearbox requirements; manual, dual clutch and automatic transmissions; gear shifting; and FWD, RWD and AWD systems.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Differentiate between existing transmission systems of land vehicles; i.e. manual, dual clutch, automatic transmissions, continuously variable transmission systems (CVT) and other applications.
  • Define power flow and power conversion in mechanical systems.
  • Design and analyze the subcomponents of transmission systems e.g. gears, bearings, shafts, clutches, torque converters.
  • Design transmission drive systems based on the needs and intended use of a vehicle.
Course Content Overview of transmission systems; power flow and power conversion; matching engine and transmission; automotive transmission systems; design of gearwheel, shafts, bearings, clutches, torque converters and other design elements; automotive transmission development process.
