Basic information
Level of Studies: Undergraduate applied studies
Year of Study: 2
Semester: 3
Requirements:
Goal: The course aims to expand the professional - theoretical knowledge about engines and motor vehicles' construction and operational characteristics and the functions of vital parts and assemblies that make up the vehicle.
Outcome: Students acquire the necessary knowledge about the basic characteristics of engines and motor vehicles, basic concepts from the theory of motion, the influence of engines and motor vehicles on the traction and dynamic properties of motor vehicles.
