Objectives

The course of Automotive Electronics aims to introduce students into the complex world  of modern  vehicles giving the apropriaeted background in the several vehicle subsystems ealted to conventional SI and diesel vehicles as well as hybrid and pure electrical vehicle technologies: power train, automotive control systems, FlexRay and CAN comunications, dedicated autmotive processors, ECUs, sensors  and automotive power electroncis actuators.

The course includes ncludes 14 tutorial sessions and one group project.

Learning outcomes and competences

Learning Outcomes:  

At the end of the course students should be capable of: 
1. Describe, explain, Identify, apply and analyse the electronic systems associated to electronic injection and ignition, valve aperture/close and control, alternator/starter and battery, Electronic control unit ECU HW and SW, cruise control, ABS and ESC, and electronic suspension. 

2. Describe, explain, Identify, apply and analyse the electronic systems associated to hybrid a pure electrical vehicles. 

3. Use simulation tools for automotive systems projects. 

4. Use and apply the obtained knowledge in a real world problem.

Eligibility for exams

Students will only be admitted to the final exam (FE) if they attend to the practical classes, and if they achieve a minimum mark of 8 out of 20 in the laboratory component.

They must obtain a minimum of 8 out of 20 in the final exam.

Calculation formula of final grade

Final Mark will be based on the following formula:

0.5*EF+0.5*AP

 

All components of the course will be assessed in a scale of 0 out of 20

EF: Final Exam.

TP: Practical Assignment (Laboratory).

TPC: Homework. 

QAP: MOODLE quizzes.

Students have to reach a minimum mark of 8 out of 20 in the final exam and in the practical assignment, to complete the course. 

Examinations or Special Assignments

None

Observations

Students should review its knowledge in digital systems, circuits, signal and power electronics, signal theory, control theory, sensor and instrumentation.
