Learning outcomes of the course unit

The course of Mechatronic Systems on Vehicles II enables students to learn of systems meant bellow and their most important components and to acquire practical skills in servicing and diagnostics of simple faults of those systems.

Prerequisites

Fundamentals of Dynamics Mechanisms, Fundamental of Measurement Non-Electric Quantities, Fundamentals Properties of Electric Motors, Fundamentals of Power Electronic, Fundamentals of Diagnostics, Principles of Data Processing and Transfer.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. According to the possibility of teaching can be organized lectures for students by practitioners and excursions to companies focused on activities related to the course content.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The graded course-unit credit award is conditioned by handing over an individual work concerning a pre-set topic and passing the test of presented topics. The resulting evaluation is set according to the Study and Examination Rules of the Technical University. Students can gain the points for 2 parts: 1. Written test of presented topics, 0-50 points. 2. Quality of individual assignment 0-50 points.

Aims

The aim of the course of Mechatronic Systems on Vehicles I is to make students acquainted with the advanced mechatronic systems on vehicles. The task of the course is for students to acquire knowledge on such level so that they are able to apply the above stated equipment and its components in their professions and will have a clear idea of what producers offer on the market.

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

The controlled lesson is an exercise. Exercises are required. The attendance at exercises is recorded and the level of knowledge is tested. Missed lessons are compensated by home assignments related to the relevant topic. A teacher evaluates the quality of the assignment.
