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.
Students will have an overview of the situation and development in the field of the design of accessories for vehicle combustion engines and vehicles. The acquired knowledge is necessary for an objective consideration of the design of accessories for vehicle piston combustion engines and vehicles. The course provides students also with knowledge of new electronic systems of vehicles, as well as with information about new trends new electronic.
