Overview

This course is specifically designed for Ohio-licensed engineers to qualify as a "timed and monitored" online course. The course contains an automatic timer that prevents the user from accessing the quiz and earning a certificate of completion until the minimum amount of study time has been met. This achieves the Ohio Board's intent that an online course should be "paced" by the provider. For more information, please see the Ohio state requirements. This course may also be accepted in other states (see the "Board Acceptance" tab above).

In Internal Combustion Engine Basics , you'll learn ...

How internal combustion (IC) engines work
How two-stroke and four-stroke engines work
The differences between petrol/gasoline and diesel engines
An engine's main components and their function (crankshaft, piston, camshaft, etc.)

Overview

To meet the Ohio Board's intent that online courses be "paced" by the provider, a timer will be used to record your study time. You will be unable to access the quiz until the required study time of 100 minutes has been met.

Internal combustion (IC) engines are not only used in the automotive engineering and automobile engineering industries. They are used to rotate pumps, generator rotors, fans, and many other machines. But what are internal combustion engines? Why do we use petrol/gasoline and diesel fuels instead of just one type of fuel? And how do these astounding machines work? This course will answer all of these questions and many more!

Irrespective of your background, learning about internal combustion engines will benefit you greatly. They are used as prime movers in cars, vans, trains, motorbikes, scooters, lawnmowers, leaf blowers, and many other machines. Interactive 3D models are used in this course to show you every engine component in detail. 3D animations show how each engine and component work. 2D images have been used to highlight areas of interest.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Describe common engine components and their functions.
Compare the differences between two-stroke and four-stroke engines.
Distinguish between gasoline and diesel engines.
Explain how an engine’s lubrication system works.
Describe how the combustion air system works.
Identify the operating principle and components of a turbocharger.
Describe jacket water system function and operation for larger engines.
Explain the purpose and function of an engine’s electrical system.

Video on Demand

This course is a recorded version of a live lecture and will be streamed directly to your computer's media player. Our format is generally compatible with media players included with all computers and mobile devices. After watching the video presentation, you will return to your account to take the online quiz. While this is a recording of a live presentation, please note that this recording will not qualify as a "live" or "interactive" continuing education activity in those jurisdictions where it is required.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 10 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
