Learning outcomes
|
Students will be introduced to sustainable energy sources, their physical nature and environmental impact in the form of a seminar. They will also be introduced to sustainable propulsion in transport. Finally, they will be introduced to the design of transport equipment, its impact on the efficiency of the use of these resources, the efficiency of transport and the generation of energy losses.
The student will gain an overview of the subject content areas.
