Students bridge classroom and industry in innovative vehicle dynamics course

A new vehicle dynamics course is giving engineering students hands-on experience in real-world automotive design. 

Professor Jennifer Johrendt developed the senior undergraduate course during her sabbatical at Stellantis’ Automotive Research and Development Centre (ARDC). The course integrates advanced simulation tools, industry expertise and access to cutting-edge facilities. 

Engineering faculty members Ahmed Hamdi Sakr, Randy Bowers and Edwin Tam were recognized for dedication and service at the annual Engineering Society Gala.

Researcher teams up with Ford to build a better brake rotor

A UWindsor engineering professor has joined forces with Ford Motor Co. of Canada and auto parts manufacturer NUCAP Industries on a $1.14 million research project to develop an environmentally friendly brake rotor that would last the lifetime of your car.

Xueyuan Nie is developing a cost-effective coating technology to make brake rotors resistant to corrosion and reduce emissions from wear. Ford proposes to one day use the rotors on its line of electric vehicles, making those vehicles even greener by eliminating the pollution caused by braking.
