17. Learning outcomes
A. Knowledge
  • Understands and applies the mathematical and scientific principles and procedures of the design and analysing of the railway vehicle.
  • Understands and can apply in a wide circle the theories and terminologies elaborated for professional area of railway vehicles design and analysis.
  • Knows and understands the analysing methods and development possibilities of the railway vehicle-technique.
  • Knows and understands the methodology and problem solving techniques of the design and research of railway vehicles.
B. Skills
  • Able to apply in innovative way the required mathematical and scientific principles and procedures for solving the problems connected with the railway vehicles design and analysis.
  • Able to analyze, to evaluate, to document and to develop the methods and informations applied in the railway vehicle design and analysis.
  • Able to global design of the railway vehicles like a complex system on the base of the system approach and the process oriented mentality.
  • Able to execute the condition surveys connected with railway vehicles, and based on this able to elaborate the evaluation and the proposal.
C. Attitudes
  • Open and receptive to know and to accept the developments and innovations which are taken place on the field of the speciality of railway vehicles.
  • Accepts the professional and ethical values-system connected with the professional area of the railway.
  • Pursuing to use complex and on system-oriented mentality based approach in the work.
D. Autonomy and Responsibility
  • Pro-activity in professional work, the self-standing selection of the relevant solution methods.

18. Requirements, way to determine a grade (obtain a signature)

During the semester there is a midterm test for evaluation of achievements in knowledge and ability. During the semester the FEM task and the complex vehicle design project must be solved (evaluation of knowledge, attitude, autonomy). The marks of the individual tasks are included in the final classification by weight 50%. Final evaluation in knowledge and ability are in framework of the examination at the end of semester. The criterion to participate at the examination are the complete achievement of the midterm test and individual tasks.
19. Opportunity for repeat/retake and delayed completion
Possibility to refit the control works and the homeworks, to repeat the examination, properly to the Study and Exam Regulations.
