Aims

The aim of the course is for students to get acquainted with basic principles of design of accessories for vehicle combustion engines, particular components, groups and aggregates. Students should realize the connection between the requirements for the design of components of a vehicle engine and the vehicle in relation to restriction of negative effects of piston combustion engines to environment. Students will have an overview of new electronic systems of vehicles and information about new trends.

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

Attendance at seminars is compulsory and systematically checked by the teacher. Absence may be in justified cases compensated for by the agreement with the course supervisor.
