4-Cylinder Engine Assembly
What?
Develop the 4-cylinder internal-combustion engine assembly for a Hybrid Electric Vehicle concept as part of a 4-member engineering team.
How?
- Modelled individual engine components from scratch in Autodesk Inventor.
- Designed the crankshaft, connecting rods, piston pins/rings, oil pump and oil gallery.
- Assembled the components into the 4-cylinder engine.
- Checked fit, interference and alignment between components.
- Coordinated with the other 3 team members to make the engine components integrate correctly.
- Incorporated feedback and revised CAD designs where necessary.
- Prepared and presented the completed assembly to engineers, instructors and management.
Results
Completed an integrated 4-cylinder engine CAD assembly as the mechanical subsystem for the team's Hybrid Electric Vehicle project and presented the final design to engineering reviewers and management.
