VEHICLES AND ENGINES

The graduates in the bachelor´s study programme Vehicles and Enginesin are able to analyse problems and opportunities that occur in different practical areas related to the field of transport means and their important subsystems. The graduates gain basic knowledge in the subjects of general technical education, they have a general overview of mechanical engineering production and its management, professional knowledge in the field of transport means, combustion engines, hydraulic and pneumatic machines and equipment, knowledge of quality assessment and testing of transport means and knowledges regarding methods of compliance with legislative requirements imposed on the production and operation of transport means and their subsystems.

The graduates are able to design and to provide construction solutions of the transport means parts and their subsystems also using modern computer-assisted technologies. They are able to find work in the operation of transport means, mainly of road vehicles, rail vehicles, combustion engines, hydraulic and pneumatic machines and equipment, by their diagnostics, maintenance and repairs.The graduates meet conditions for further education in the master´s degree studies, especially in the study programmes Vehicles and Engines and Vehicle Maintenance.

Prospects of graduates

The graduate is able to solve parts of vehicles and their subsystems in a team and independently, also using modern computer-aided technologies, is able to coordinate subtasks and take responsibility for the achieved results. He/she is able to apply himself/herself in the operation of means of transport, in particular road vehicles, rolling stock and internal combustion engines, in their diagnosis, maintenance and repair. He/she is characterised by creativity and independence in solving problems typical of the automotive and rail vehicle industries. The graduate meets the conditions for further education in the next level of study - engineering, especially in the study programme "Vehicles and Engines".
