Responsible instructor: Dr. Csák Bence Zoltán

Instructor(s): Sárkány Richárd

Course objectives:
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with basic electric/electronic notions, definitions to have the right approach to automotive electronic problems and problem solving. Students will learn how new and already known physical quantities appear and handled in automotive environment. Calculations with said quantities will be practiced and applied.The aim of the course is to familiarize students with basic electric/electronic notions, definitions to have the right approach to automotive electronic problems and problem solving.

Requirements, evaluation, grading:
Mid-term study requirements:
During the semester, one final examination will be written, which can be corrected or made up once. In addition, three minor examinations will be done on calculation skills. A satisfactory result in the three minors and the final examination is a prerequisite for obtaining a satisfactory mid-semester grade. The mid-term mark is the final examination mark.
