COURSE OUTCOMES

Upon successful completion of the course, students should be able to:
CO1: Analyse the stress and strain imparted on automotive components.
CO2: Compute the design and find the dimension of the vehicle components.
CO3:Identify optimal design solutions to real-world problems in compliance with industry standards.
CO4:Demonstrate the design skill by creating new design strategy with the application of the knowledge
CO5:Interpret the modern system in vehicle and would help in developing the system with less impact to the environment.
