For example, most students can relate through their personalexperience to issues such as position, velocity and acceleration while driving in a car. The focuson safety appeals to the student’s altruistic motivations for studying engineering. Advances inautomotive safety such as seat belts, ABS braking, radar systems and dynamic stability controlhave resulted in millions of saved lives. It is also an area of rapid growth in the industry withnew technologies that spark student’s imagination, on the horizon such as automatic braking,driver assistance systems
