TraZ4041, Expertise of Motor Vehicles I

Course abstract

the goal of study course is to acquaint reception, visitation and determination of defects of motor vehicles and farm machines. Photography of motor vehicle and its elements. Determination of value of motor vehicle. Accomplishment of technical expertise, what are connected with motor vehicles and its systems, aggregates, components and parts breakings, failures whose reasons are not road accident. Estimation methods and experiential determination of dynamic of automobile.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

Knowledge of determining the value and repair costs of land vehicles, the ability to determine the value of land vehicles and calculate the cost of repairs in the event of a road accident or other failure. The acquired knowledge allows to calculate the value of the damaged land vehicle individually and independently solve technical issues related to the renewal of vehicles.
Test 1 - Determination of the value of land vehicles.
Test 2 - Conditions for calculation of damaged land vehicle restoration.
Able to independently calculate vehicle renewal costs - laboratory works.
