Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years (1.8.2018-31.7.2020), which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
The student
1. can recognise modern mobile machines and vehicles, both heavy and light duty.
2. can design and simulate vehicles, such as electric and hybrid vehicles.
3. can perceive a modern vehicle system as a sum of subsystems and study their functionalities.
4. can work in a team that designs and analyses a vehicle system.
5. can evaluate and compare different modern vehicle designs and models, including the comparison of own design to scientific state-of-the-art.
