Aims

The aim of the course Systems, Control and Mechatronics of Vehicles is to acquaint students with contemporary trends in the area of vehicle control systems. The aim of the course is to achieve basic knowledge of the given problems so that students are able to apply them in their profession and orient themselves in the wide possibilities of contemporary development in this area of automotive technology.

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.
