The contents intend to give a solid base for development work, production and application of piston engines with internal combustion, with a focus on diesel and Otto engines, which mainly implies:
- A general orientation around the properties of the engine
- A survey of the engine's mechanical design with a focus on important components
- The thermodynamics of engines
- The combustion of engines
- Exhaust emissions, how these are formed and reduced, and their influence on man and the environment
- Fuels and their influence on the environment
- Legal requirement
