Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The graded course-unit credit award is conditioned by handing over an individual work concerning a pre-set topic and passing the test of presented topics. The resulting evaluation is set according to the Study and Examination Rules of the Technical University. Students can gain the points for 2 parts: 1. Written test of presented topics, 0-50 points. 2. Quality of individual assignment 0-50 points.

Aims

The aim of the course of Mechatronic Systems on Vehicles I is to make students acquainted with basic mechatronic systems on vehicles. The task of the course is for students to acquire knowledge on such level so that they are able to apply the above stated equipment and its components in their professions and will have a clear idea of what producers offer on the market.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

The controlled lesson is an exercise. The attendance at exercises is recorded and the level of knowledge is tested . Missed lessons are compensated by home assignments related to the relevant topic. A teacher evaluates the quality of the assignment.
