Course detail
Semester Project
FSI-QS3 Acad. year: 2024/2025 Summer semester
The course creates the necessary design habits in students and develops teamwork skills with a focus on vehicles and vehicle engines. During the exercise, students will practically get acquainted with the draft concept, main dimensions and calculation of the key components of the vehicle engine. For their chosen engine concept, they will then process the structural design of the engine's basic parameters, create a calculation protocol of the engine's key parts, and build a thermodynamic model. When processing the assigned task, knowledge from previous subjects of the automotive and traffic engineering program is used, with an emphasis on the digitalization of the entire design, calculation and production process according to the Industry 4.0 concept.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Conditions for granting classified credit: presentation in the exercise, submission of the calculation protocol and continuous presentation of partial procedures according to the assignment. Both the correctness of calculations and the graphic level of submitted materials are evaluated.
Teaching in exercises is compulsory, participation is checked by the teacher. The form of replacement of lessons missed for serious reasons is decided individually with the guarantor of the subject.

Aims
The aim of the course is the practical verification of the theoretical knowledge acquired by students in the individual subjects of the automotive and transport engineering program and the comprehensive use of this knowledge within the scope of the assignment being processed. The task is to complete the habits needed when processing basic design documents, i.e. calculation reports including construction using modern computer programs with a focus on vehicles and vehicle engines.
The course introduces students to the comprehensive use of the knowledge of the subjects of the automotive and traffic engineering program in the design of key components of a vehicle engine. Students will master the procedures for determining the main dimensions of the key components of the vehicle engine, its systems and components, the nature of stress on individual components and the procedure for control strength calculation. Next, the method of processing the calculation report and design documentation using modern computer programs.
