Course Aim:

To provide knowledge to BE Mechanical Engineering students (using different methods


such as lectures, discussions, presentations, problem solving, home / reading
assignments, question and answer sessions etc.) regarding internal combustion engines
important related issues in accordance with the learning outcomes and the tentative
lecture plan.

Course Catalogue:

Internal combustion engines have been, and will remain for the foreseeable future, a vital
and active area of engineering education and research. Internal combustion engines and
the industries that develop and manufacture them and support their use, now play a
dominant role in the fields of power, propulsion, and energy. This course is intended to
cover this vast and fast growing field in accordance with the curriculum for a bachelors
degree in mechanical engineering and aeronautical engineering. It provides the material
needed for a basic understanding of the operation of internal combustion engines.
Students are assumed to have knowledge of fundamental thermodynamics, heat transfer,
and fluid mechanics as a prerequisite to get maximum benefit from this course

Course Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of the course, the students will, Insha Allah
(i)

have the basic understanding of the working of internal combustion engines,


their classification, important components as well as aspects such as combustion
and carburetion etc.
be able to analyze and evaluate engine design, operating, test and performance
parameters
be able to analyze and evaluate issues related to thermo-chemistry of air / fuel
mixtures as well as properties of working fluids
be able to apply, analyze and compare different air standard cycles
learn and show competency through individual / group assignments (such as
writing an article on a specific topic / issue related to internal combustion engines
followed by its oral presentation in class).
