Summary
In the course a Car assembly technology getting to link the expertise acquired by students in the current study. Students will apply knowledge of welding technology, soldering, bonding, from the construction of road vehicles, combustion engines, the production technology of a composite material, calculation of mechanical parts.
Course Car assembly technology learn students about mechanical assembly groups with the car relation to each other and supporting frame (skeleton, shell, ...). Great emphasis will be on practical installation and assembly procedures, including the potential for real finished individual parts. Large space gets their ingenuity and technical ability to improvise.
Students in the choice of mechanical groups of cars, which are available on the market, or the design of structural adjustment will need to reflect current technology - manufacturing facilities, further will be practically applied Technological design in terms of production and assembly.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Students will be able / have knowledge of this issue:
to know the assembly of automobile mechanical groups;
to know electronic systems used in wheeled vehicles;
to describe sensing elements and components participating in driving;
to apply in practice the design technologicality with regard to manufacture and assembling.
