For projects based on simulation, licenses for modern software are supplied.

The aim of the course is to

• practice on engine development or investigation with laboratory tests or simulation
• apply knowledge gained in combustion engines or other relevant KTH courses
• give a chance to contribute to development of the combustion engine, since all projects represent industrially relevant challenges
• practice working in a project group
