| Learning outcomes |
|
Give information about environmental protection and creating, negative effects of transport on environment and their reduction.
Studying the course student has overview about transport effects on environmental parts and about environmental properties of operating materials and concrete technical solution of selected problems. He is familiar with electronic information sources. He will learn about properties of fuel, petroleum lubricants, recoil-liquids and coolant and will know used testing methods and has practical experiences at laboratory work with them. |
| Prerequisites |
|
Knowledge of the environmental protection, chemistry, physics and ICT.
