Personal (decision-making, lifelong learning, cooperation and teamwork) Skills: D1 Able to work effectively individual and in a team of specialists of various competencies; D2 Able to communicate in diverse methods with the / non-engineering community nationally and internationally; D3 Understands of the safety and legal issues and responsibilities of engineering practice in the area of transport, the impact of engineering solutions on the society and environment;
D4 Understands of project management and business aspects, links between technological solutions and their economic consequences; D5 Knows the importance of individual lifelong learning and is able to improve. Additional Knowledge and Skills: E1 Knows and can creatively apply knowledge of mathematics, physics, electrical and electronics, mechanics, materials science and information technology relevant to transport engineering research tasks and the development of new products or processes; E2 Able to solve typical, as well as ill-defined and ill-defined problems in the field of transport by applying theoretical models and research methods, including mathematical analysis, numerical modelling, optimisation, and experimental investigations. Activities of teaching and learning: The studies include classroom work (lectures, practical work, laboratory work, consultation seminars, outgoing visits to enterprises, etc.) and individual work for mastering theoretical material, preparation for classroom work, intermediate and final assessments and performing other activities. The studies of each study module are completed by the assessment of the student’s knowledge and skills – an examination or another final assessment; the study programme is completed by the final degree project and its defence. The study methods of active learning, such as design (programming), design thinking, challenge-based learning, creative workshops, group work, experiential learning, discussion, problem-based learning, reflective learning, idea (mind) mapping, etc. are applied to encourage the active participation and creativity of students in the study process. The achievements are assessed using the traditional assessment methods, such as laboratory examination, assignments, laboratory or project report, as well as other methods: work or competency file (portfolio), problem-solving task, engineering project, reflection on action, self-assessment, etc. Methods of assessment of learning achievements: The applied cumulative assessment system of the learning outcomes ensures constant and involving work of students during the entire semester of studies; the final evaluation of the study module consists of the sum of the grades of intermediate assessments and the final assessment multiplied by the weighting coefficients (percentages of components). The number of intermediate assessments and their expression in percentage are chosen by the study module’s coordinating lecturer. Besides the usual forms of assessment (for example, examination, oral presentation, project report, laboratory examination), an additional form of assessment “Assessment of student activity (level)” may be applied (up to 10% of the final grade) for the assessment of the student’s preparation for case analysis, an active discussion, participation in debates, etc. Framework: Study subjects (modules), practical training: Applied Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics, Automatic Control Fundamentals, Bachelor’s Degree Final Project, Computer Drawing, Computer-Aided Design, Electric Drives, Engineering Economics, Engineering Graphics, Engineering Mechanics, Engines of Vehicles, Fluid Power Systems, Fundamentals of Electrotechnics and Electronics, General Chemistry, Human Safety, Information Technologies for Engineers, Introduction to Transport Engineering, Lightweight Structures, Machining Technologies of Means and their Components of Locomotion, Materials Engineering, Mathematics 1, Mathematics 2, Measurements and Control, Numerical Methods in Engineering, Physics 1, Professional Internship, Signals Theory, Sustainable Transport: Technologies, Environment and Interaction, Theoretical
