Objectives

This course unit aims to familiar students with this area, to describe operative requirements of the various systems and design and analyse the various subsystems of a vehicle, namely its lighting, instrumentation of critical systems, instrumentation and comfort, kinematic chain, motion control and data transmission.

Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the semester, students should be capable of:
- describing, explaining, identifying, applying and analysing automotive electronic systems, regarding their injection systems, ignition, valve opening and closing events, alternator, battery and starter motor, lighting, diagnosis, automatic speed control, anti block and anti slip control, traction control and automatic suspension.
- using simulation tools to analyse and design these systems;
- using and applying concepts taught in real situations.

Eligibility for exams

To be admitted to the Final Exam (FE), students have to reach a minimum grade of SEVEN (7) out of TWENTY (20) in the laboratory component

Calculation formula of final grade

Final Grade will be based on the following formula:
0.4*FE+0.4*LW+0.1*HMW+0.1*Q

All components will be graded from 0 to 20.

FE: Final Exam
LW: Laboratory Work: Presentation (10%), Report (85%) and Poster (5%)
HMW: Homework
Q: Questions on MOODLE

Examinations or Special Assignments

Not applicable

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Students with a special status (working students, military personnel and students’ association leaders) who do not attend practical classes, have to attend a practical exam.

Classification improvement

According to Article 10 of General Evaluation Rules of FEUP

Observations

Students should review concepts learned in other course units:
Digital Systems, Circuits, Electronics, Signal Theory and Measurement, Sensors and Instrumentation.
