Students learn the structure of vehicles and the structure and function of vehicle parts (engines, transmissions, tires, etc.). Students will also deepen their understanding of basic performance of vehicles such as driving stability, acceleration performance, braking performance, and riding comfort performance, mainly from a mechanical engineering point of view (Related to DP2).
Students will be able to understand and explain the overall structure of the vehicle and the function of the components.
In addition, students will be able to explain the vehicle basic performance of "driving, turning and stopping" based on basic knowledge of mechanical engineering.
Grades will be evaluated by intermediate assignment (60%) and final assignment (40%).
