VEHICLE DYNAMICS CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
Designed to equip engineers with key vehicle dynamics and handling theory and
application from a systems perspective, the objective of this program is for engineers
to understand the interaction and performance balance between the major vehicle
subsystems. The program design requires completion of fundamental and advanced-
level vehicle dynamics theory and application courses with three elective courses that
best suit an individuals interest areas or engineering emphasis.
The courses do not have to be taken in any specified order, although the Required
Courses are good starting points if they can be scheduled and completed prior to the
electives. The entire program must be completed within five years.
Successful completion of this multi-course certificate program equates to eight
graduate credits towards the SAE/Kettering University 20-credit Certificate in
Automotive Systems and Ketterings 40-credit M.S in Mechanical Engineering. Visit
training.sae.org/credentialing/ceu/kettering_cp.htm for more information.

by a 60-minute classroom presentation focusing on one
key element of ABS, TCS, or ESC. Six of these class/track
modules are then linked together in continuous fashion to
provide the fundamental knowledge required to specify,

Vehicles used for demonstration will be capable of allowing
attendees to directly compare their best-unassisted driving

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By participating in this web seminar, you will be able to:
Calculate the braking force on a vehicle from the installed
brake components
Determine the deceleration achieved by a vehicle for a
given set of brake components
Analyze and interpret the actual brake balance for a given
vehicle and brake components
Calculate the ideal brake forces required for a vehicle
Evaluate tradeoffs between actual and ideal brake forces
Calculate the impact of brake balance modifiers on vehicle
braking performance
WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This course is designed for engineers interested in or
responsible for: the specification, prediction and validation
of braking system performance; brake component design
by providing insight into the interaction of components and
the contribution to system level performance metrics; the
tuning and calibration of Chassis Control Systems including
ABS, TCS, ESP, ROM and Regenerative Braking Systems.
Practical experience in the design or validation of brake or

INTRODUCTION TO BRAKE NOISE, VIBRATION,
AND HARSHNESS
Customer warranty claims
Brake Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) is for Brake Noise, Vibration,
recognized as one of the major problems currently and Harshness are more than
faced by the automotive manufacturers and their $100 million per year for each
suppliers, with customers warranty claims of more manufacturer.
than $100 million per year for each manufacturer.
This seminar provides an introduction to brake
NVH, including a concise summary of the various I.D.# C1337
brake NVH problems, current lab and vehicle
measurement techniques and SAE global standards SCHEDULE
which are utilized to characterize the noise correctly April 20, 2017

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

The information in this course is relevant to a wide
audience, from the brake test technician who seeks
to understand more about NVH and brake NVH, to
the experienced brake NVH engineer who wishes to
know more about the details of the tests performed
and the meaning of the results. Brake development
and brake component engineers who are not
familiar with brake NVH will also find the course
beneficial.
