Entry knowledge

The student needs to have knowledge appropriate courses of theoretical basics of bachelor study programme at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Technology, Brno

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The credit is suspended by active participation in exercises and correctly elaborated acts. The exam checks the knowledge from lectures and exercises, consists of written and oral parts.
Seminars are obligatory, checked by a teacher. The way of compensation of missed lessons (in justified cases) is solved individually with the course guarantee person.

Aims

The aim of the course is to make students familiar with fundamental principles of combustion engines, their properties, characteristics and the engine design.
Students learn of the development and present condition of design of piston combustion engines and their parts.
