Vehicle Dynamics Distance Learning Courses?

[Anvit Garg]

Hello:

I am a senior in mechanical engineering at a college located in the USA. I am attempting to start a new Formula Student race team and my school does not support anything automotive.

I am in desperate need of a distance learning course that is as intense as any graduate or undergraduate engineering course.

So far I have found the following:

Any insight?? The price is nearly 3000 USD, I dont know about investing such an amount unless this is the best of the best for e-learning.


Here is a 2 day course offered through University of Michigan Dearborn:

The above link is a 2-day course...

And they offer an entire MS in Automotive Engineering online: http://dln.engin.umd.umich.edu/programs ... RG_ID=AENG

No GRE required if your GPA is good enough.

I am attempting to build a suspension system by May 2009 as my senior project so I am looking for a class that I can attend (by distance) parallel.

Thank you for any input!
