Aims
The aim of the Vehicle Power Trains course is to provide students with basic knowledge about the conceptual design and computations of the power unit and other parts of the drive chain. The course should help students to understand the issues of design, load, vibration and noise of parts of the power train in a wider context, which they can subsequently apply in other specialized courses, and especially in practice.
