Course detail

Semester Project

FSI-QS3Acad. year: 2011/2012

This course enables students to acquire the desirable habits of independent design work, with special focus upon the piston combustion engines. Lectures serve to communicate the concept and the procedures related to planning the essential dimensions of an engine. The draft of dimensions of basic engine parts and a preliminary calculation for assessing the preliminary strength. Seminars help to work out a computerized protocol of the basic project parameters of an engine and a corresponding drawing documentation of selected engine parts.
