Aims

The objective of the course is to male students familiar with actual computational models applied for solving various types of tasks related to internal combustion engines (ICE) and motor vehicles development. The aim of the course is to explain students mathematical and physical fundamentals of computational models, which are very often built up to ready-to-use software level.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
