What will I learn?
This course provides a practical guide to designing and optimising a modern 1.6L spark-ignition engine. Master thermodynamic cycles, performance analysis, boosting systems, knock limits, BSFC, and efficiency. Learn to select compression ratios, valve timing, EGR, and control strategies, then apply cycle analysis to set realistic targets, conduct validation tests, and develop an implementation plan.
