Course Description

You will learn how to measure the motion of a vehicle. You will learn how to analyze the movement of a car from the measured data and how to evaluate the driving behavior.
In addition, students will acquire the knowledge necessary for safe driving through tasks.
As the experiments are carried out in groups, students will also improve their communication skills.
In this course, you will acquire knowledge and techniques on Diploma Policy 2,3,4,5.

Course Objectives

・Students will be able to explain the different movements of the cars based on the different experimental results.
・Students will be able to create an experimental plan and an experiment result report.
・Through group work, students are able to solve the tasks necessary for automobile design.

Grading Policy

Grades will be evaluated by intermediate assignment (70%), final assignment (30%).
