 Syllabus Number1K304

Course Description

Students learn the following contents:
(1) Transmission structure, function and performance.
(2) Wheel alignment function.
(3) Structure and function of the steering device.
(4) Structure and function of brake device.
Although this lesson is mainly lecture type, exercises are carried out in pairs and everyone will discuss about the answers as a whole.
In this lesson, you will acquire knowledge, techniques and attitudes on the degree awards policy DP2.

Course Objectives

Students understand the fundamental knowledge of the structure by understanding the basic functions, objectives, and functions of the power transmission mechanism such as the transmission of the automobile and the chassis, for example, the steering wheel and the brake. The automobile engineer will explain the basic contents of the power transmission mechanism and the chassis.

Grading Policy

Students are evaluated by using the results of the 15th test (80%) and quiz (20%).
The answers will be explained after the test and quiz. An example of the answer is shown in LMS.

Requirements(Assignments)

Read the class content posted on the LMS as preparation. Please read through the applicable range in the textbook and reference book, and understand the contents. In addition, since some homework such as assignment will be shown almost every time, please finish it by next lesson. Approximately 1 hour for preparation, 2 hours for assignment and review.

Note

Students are required to attend all lessons. Late arrival, leave early and absence are monitored.
Automobile Vehicle Structure 3 is a ◆ mark of compulsory subjects of the Automobile Technology Course [AT course].
We will conduct a small test at the 7th meeting and confirm the understanding level towards the middle of the course. In addition to using LMS as an independent learning support, we will implement the Mobile-MARS test and questionnaire function as an interactive class as appropriate.
