Assessment Brief:

Consider the future of the automotive industry and in particular, the propulsion and supporting higher level systems and sub-systems.

Currently there is a transformation in propulsion technology. To give you all a foundation from which you can consider future technology developments, I want you all to use the current Internal Combustion Engine technology. This will ensure you all start from the same point.

All the parts and systems have a function that collectively provide torque and power for the customer to control

You should consider new developments that:

· reduce carbon impact,

· reduce the environmental impact and are

· sustainable.

Considering sustainability think in terms of material availability, and recycling, reuse, repair, etc.)

Choose part of the propulsion system or supportive vehicle system (controls, suspension, ) that you believe, when developed, will potentially respond to the three considerations noted above and create a more efficient and effective way of propelling a vehicle

Your changes could affect private vehicle ownership or support autonomous vehicle introduction. What would be the impact for customers, infrastructure and the automotive industry.

Process to use in your considerations:

Either:

Use Associative Thinking – potentially creating a new ecosystem

Use one of the techniques to consider the eco-system interactions between vehicle systems and the infrastructure :

Techniques: System canvas, causal loops, iceberg model, 3 Horizons, two loop model

Discuss how you would use the technique you have chosen, how it connects to other techniques and the outcomes you would expect using the technique including the challenges and benefits.

Or

Analytical Thinking  - potentially refining the current propulsion solutions

Use one of the techniques to consider the eco-system interactions:

Techniques: Requirements / specification cascade (RFLP), block diagrams, P-Diagrams, Interface Matrix, Interface Tables (internal / external), DFMEA, Designing Verification Process, sustainability strategies  

Discuss how you would use the technique you have chosen to make design improvements to the current designs, describe how the changes to a current design will change the interface / interactions with other systems.

Using the techniques listed above show how it connects to other techniques and the outcomes you would expect using the technique including the challenge and benefits

Lastly reflect on the application of system thinking generally and how you think you will be able to contribute to the automotive industry in the future.

Report Content and Structure

Written Report

This should consist of the following sections

MAIN BODY ( 4000 +/-10% Words)  The word count is for guidance. You can add more or less to each section but the overall must be about 4000

Should be focussed on the description, analysis and evidence relating an aspect of automotive propulsion system
