This eLearning course featuring vehicle dynamics expert and best-selling author, Thomas D. Gillespie, provides a broad overview of vehicle performance, including engineering analyses and formulas that will allow participants to calculate useful performance metrics. The goal of this course is to provide participants with the tools to predict the performance of a car or truck in accelerating/braking, ride, and handling/rollover. In the process, participants come to understand the basic mechanisms and engineering principles that govern steering and suspension system design, as well as develop familiarity with the terminology. While the course is approximately 17 hours in length, the estimated time to completion, including knowledge checks and the learning assessment, is 18 hours.
This course has been approved by the Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstruction (ACTAR) for 16 Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Upon completion of this course, accredited reconstructionists should mail a copy of their course certificate of achievement and the $5 participant CEU fee to ACTAR, PO Box 1493, North Platte, NE 69103.
By participating in this eLearning course, you'll be able to:
*SAE International is authorized by IACET to offer CEUs for this course.
The course will be beneficial to anyone interested in automotive performance, including professional engineers who need to understand the vehicle as a system, have technical interest in vehicle performance, or are involved in the design and development of automotive vehicles. The course could also be valuable to technologists working to achieve a high level of vehicle performance and managers responsible for vehicle design, development, and testing. Anyone involved in the manufacture of cars or trucks, OEM or after-market components, design and construction of specialty vehicles, racing, or vehicle safety and accident analysis/reconstruction could also find value in this course.
