Course abstract
In this study course students acquaint concepts, technologies and methods connected with attendance and service of motor vehicles. Parallel to inquire of problems of technical attendance and renewal there are inspected technologies of attendance, diagnostic and service of tractors and agricultural machinery.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
• Knowledge of the process of performing vehicles general technical maintenance works and their assemblies and the applied technique, the parameters characterizing the technical condition of the vehicle, their changes in the operation process and the influencing facts, as well as the equipment used for technical maintenance and renovation.
• Skills to assess the technical condition of the vehicles and perform their full and correct diagnosis and maintenance.
• Competence to perform technical maintenance and renewal of vehicles, to select equipment, tools and methods appropriate for these works. The knowledge and skills acquired in the course will be assessed by 3 tests and developed laboratory works and their reports.

Requirements for awarding credit points
Laboratory work must be developed, defended and completed. All tests must pass a grade of at least 4. Test with a mark.
Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work
Preparation for tests and laboratory works. Preparation of laboratory reports.
Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes
The tests are counted if at least 4 are scored. The test evaluation criteria indicate a specific number of points for each correctly answered test question. Laboratory works are counted if laboratory work reports have been developed in accordance with the requirements and they have been successfully defended.
The examination grade can be received automatically if all laboratory works have been developed and defended and all test works have been successfully passed. The final mark consists of the average assessment of the tests, as well as the assessment of the completeness and quality of the laboratory work.
