Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will have an overall idea of the design of vehicle combustion engines and their parts.
Prerequisites
Design of machine part, kinematics and dynamics of machine mechanism, evaluation of these elements regarding mechanics, elasticity, and strength. Thermo cycles of combustion engines and thermal load. Combustion engines maps.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Credit: mandatory attendance in seminars, presentation and submitting the seminary work. Examination is written and oral. Seminar thesis evaluation is part of the total evaluation.
Aims
The aim of the course is to make students familiar with fundamental principles of design of internal combustion engines.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Attendance in seminars is obligatory, checked by a teacher. The way of compensation of absence is solved individually with a subject provider.
