Description
The Automotive Engineering: Automobile Fundamentals and Advanced Course is a multidisciplinary course where you will study the fundamental concepts regarding the Engineering and Operation of Cars, including physics topics, mechanics, materials, transmission, engine operation and more. My intention is that you fully understand the main topics regarding the Design and Engineering of Cars and other vehicles, so that you grasp clearly how to design Cars and how to size their components and choose their materials.
The course is aimed at providing a solid background in Automotive Engineering so that you can scale up your knowledge in the topic and gain confidence in your own skills. The course is about uniting Engineering and Technical skills for an overall improved know-how of Cars.
The structure of the Course is the following:
Introduction
Vehicle Dynamics
Materials Science
Chassis
Engine
Transmission
We will discuss topics such as the design of the Chassis as it evolved over time and current trends, the forces acting on cars including cornering force, traction and more. We will also get a bit more theoretical studying fictitious forces, vehicle dynamics and much more!
The objectives of the Course are for you to understand the basics and some advanced concepts in the development and design of Automobiles. This will be done in a similar way as studied in Engineering schools, from the fundamental physics concepts to the real application in cars today. The concepts you will learn will enable you to work confidently in Automotive Projects as well as to expand your knowledge in this topic.
I encourage you to begin this journey to Automotive Engineering, you won't regret it! If you have any doubts during the course feel free to contact me, I will answer as quick as possible!
Who this course is for:
- Those who are looking to know more regarding Automotive Engineering
- People interested in Mechanical Engineering
- People who want to understand how Automobiles operate and their main components
- Those who want to work with Automotive related Projects in the future confidently
- Anyone curious (from High School level to Graduate) to fully comprehend the basics of Automotive Engineering

My name is Lluís Foreman and I am an aerospace engineer deeply interested in space, aeronautics and other engineering fields. I am currently working in the NewSpace sector in Barcelona, Spain, with relevant experience in various domains of engineering and management.
I studied a bachelor's degree in aerospace vehicle engineering, a master's degree in aeronautical engineering and a master's degree in space engineering. I was also involved in several projects at university, from aircraft to rockets.
I devote a lot of time to working on the space sector but I also enjoy providing quality material for those of you who want to know more about aerospace and other engineering fields. I started uploading engineering courses 5 years ago, in 2018, and have continued to improve the quality of the content using the feedback provided by students throughout this time.
My aim is to convince students that engineering is composed by topics that, even if sometimes complex, can be understood. The courses aim to provide a solid background in engineering domains to facilitate comprehension of key fundamental topics, as well as to encourage students to further explore their interests with a deeper know-how.
Feel free to contact me for information regarding the courses or additional information on engineering!
I hope you find the courses useful and enjoy the material uploaded!
Kind regards to all,
Lluís Foreman
