Vehicle Design and Simulation (1)

Course Aims
This course aims to provide students with deep knowledge of the basic rules in vehicle design and determine the various types of loads that act on the vehicle. In addition, the student is able to design suspension and steering systems and simulate and evaluate the dynamic performance of these systems using the software.
