Aims

The aim of the course is to acquire basic professional knowledge of construction of passenger and utility road motor vehicles and to acquaint students with developmental tendencies in the field of motor vehicle construction.
At the end of the course the student will gain knowledge of motor vehicle design necessary for control functions at various levels for decision-making activities in the field of automotive technology, especially for their effective acquisition, operation, maintenance, repair and sale. Students are able to interpret aspects of vehicle construction in relation to functions or dysfunctions within the operation of a motor vehicle. It will acquire the prerequisites for analytical assessment and comparison of properties of various structures and properties of vehicles.
