Summary
This course addresses the problems of the automotive industry, in particular the aerodynamics of vehicles and their design in order to reduce their consumption. Its purpose is to present fluid mechanics, design and manufacturing tools used in the automotive industry or that can be used. The professions concerned are aerodynamic engineer, design engineer, product development engineer, etc. The concepts that will be covered in the course will be as follows: -basic principles of aerodynamics (equations, aerodynamics, numerical simulations and wind tunnel validation) -Product design under Catia (advanced CAD) -Conventional machining (turning, milling, drilling, adjustment) -Materials and processes -Micro-sensors and micro-actuators for flow control -Reactive and automatic control -Economy
Educational goals
At the end of the course, the student will be able to: -To address a concrete problem in the automotive industry related to fuel consumption reduction (Competency C2.1: Represent and model, grade A competent level, D beginner) -To propose drag reduction solutions, to design, implement and validate them using a multidisciplinary approach (design/manufacturing/implementation/digital simulations and wind tunnel validations (competence C2.2: Solve and Arbitrate, grade A competent level, D beginner). - To have a critical mind on traditional drag reduction approaches through a thorough knowledge of advanced development techniques (competency C1.1 Emerging, grade A competent level, D beginner).

Continuous Assessment
Comments: During this module, students will be divided into groups of 8, working together on reducing the drag of car prototypes. Each team will be in competition. At the end of the module, each team will provide a report and defend its work orally. This will lead to two evaluations (report and defense). The last one is the individual work mark related to the student's involvement in the project. Each part has the same weight.

Pedagogy
Classes with active student participation are planned. These will aim to provide the minimum skills necessary to address the problem of drag reduction (imagine a solution, model it, manufacture it and validate it). About sixty hours are reserved for this. In addition, tailor-made courses are offered where each student will choose the skills they want to develop for their project group. A great deal of autonomous work will have to be done within the framework of the project. The evaluation will focus on the report and the presentation of the project, which should show the good organization of the group (in particular the project tutor will evaluate the skills brought by each member of the group through an individual working mark).
