Assessment methods
The exam is oral. A necessary condition for admission to the exam is the presentation of the collection of exercises assigned during the course, correctly solved. The exam is divided into three questions concerning the theory and the assigned exercises. For each question the candidate writes the outline of the answer, then verbally explaines it to the examiner. The time available to answer each question is 15 '. There must be at least 20 days between attempts to pass the exam.
Learning outcomes
Learning of the basic calculation methods and techniques of Vehicle Mechanics.
Ability to apply the skills acquired in the modeling of vehicle subsystems through the correct use of the methods of Mechanics of Machines.
Knowledge and appropriate use of technical terminology in the field of Vehicle Mechanics.
Acquisition of the necessary skills to autonomously study technical-scientific aspects of the subject.
