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.
