The course aims to provide students with the skills needed to analyse the operating conditions of internal combustion engines and turbogas for the performance optimization in terms of torque, power, consumption, pollutant emissions.
The course aims to provide students with the acquisition of methodologies for the development and management of calibration and control techniques for the engine system/after-treatment devices.

Type of delivery of the course
Teaching is organized with lectures. Some lessons are dedicated to practical insights of what learned during the theoretical lessons, through exercises guided by the teacher.Type of evaluation
The verification of the learning takes place through an oral test in which questions are proposed in order to verify the understanding of the concepts and the ability of the student to apply them in real contexts.
