Aims
The aim of the course of Special Electrotechnics is to make students familiar with the current status of electric and electronic equipment of motor vehicles. The task of the course is to learn of the above stated problems in such a way so that students are able to apply the above stated equipment and its components in their profession and to be acquainted with the wide market offer of the products.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
The controlled education includes exercises. Exercises are required. The attendance at exercises is recorded and the level of knowledge is tested by assignments. Students are required to compensate missed lessons with another group of students or – in exceptional cases – by working out an assignment regarding a relevant topic. A teacher evaluates the quality of the assignment.
