Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Objective:
The course deepens and broadens students' knowledge of the specific problems of industrial design in the automotive industry as well as aspects of technical, ergonomic, regulatory, environmental, etc.

Learning outcomes:
Based on the term project, students undergo an abbreviated development bodywork and does so comprehensive overview of the complexity of the process. The most important factor in education is to teach students to think in broad context, to accommodate complex linking design with functional technical unit.

Learning:
Students gain practical skill to construct functional units carrying cars and concept of time and technical performance of similar project activities.
