Abstract

In this thesis have explored and addressed the intricacies surrounding the vehicle trainer kit designed by former BMKA students, focusing on its significance in educating students on brake system maintenance. The hands-on experience provided by the kit proves invaluable in enhancing students' comprehension of real-world automotive scenarios, offering practical insights into brake system repairs. However, identified limitations, particularly the lack of a powertrain, necessitate improvements to further enrich the learning experience. The project's objective, as outlined in the introduction, aims to design and build a powertrain mounting system for the trainer kit. The methodology employed in achieving this goal includes an extensive survey to understand the demographics and educational backgrounds of BMKA students, critical analysis of the existing trainer kit, and a detailed examination of proposed enhancements. The proposed improvements involve the integration of a powertrain system, specifically an engine and differential, to provide students with a more comprehensive understanding of automotive technology. The chosen design concepts for the engine and differential case mounting systems have been carefully selected through a rigorous process, considering factors such as safety, maintenance, and cost-effectiveness. Structural analyses of the engine and differential case mountings were conducted under various scenarios. The results demonstrated that both designs exhibit minimal displacements, satisfactory factors of safety, and acceptable percentages of yield, ensuring their resilience under different conditions. The proposed powertrain mounting system serves as a promising addition to the BMKA curriculum, promising students a more immersive learning experience in automotive technology.
