Teaching takes place in the form of lectures, computational exercises and laboratory exercises. Course presents fundamentals of the most important types of drives in hybrid electric and electric vehicles, the set requirements, the theoretical basics of the operational principles of individual parts and their interactions. Lectures include the background history of the previously mentioned items as well as the directions for future development. Computational exercises involve solving tasks by which the student is more closely acquainted with the operational modes of the drive and the power supply systems, calculation of the important parameters of the essential subsystems and their interaction. Laboratory exercises are carried out in a laboratory with appropriate prototypes of electric vehicles drive sets, measuring and computer equipment. By working on the equipment, students get a direct insight into the way parts work within the whole system and valuable hands-on-experience.
