Learning outcomes of the course unit
The course of Special Electrotechnics enables students to get basic theoretical knowledge of electric and electronic systems of motor vehicles and their most important components and to acquire practical skills in servicing and diagnostics of simple faults of the systems.
Prerequisites
Fundamentals of Dynamics Mechanisms, Fundamentals of Motor Vehicle Construction , Fundamentals of Measurement Non-Electric Quantities, Fundamentals of Theory Electric Machines and Apparatuses, Principles of Data Processing and Transfer.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
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
Conditions for granting a course-unit credit: attendance at exercises, active participation, working out laboratory protocols on measuring. Exam: The exam verifies the acquired knowledge, including practical skills. The exam is combined with written and oral parts.
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.
