This is a compulsory 2nd year course taught in the first four-month period.



It aims to show the student the behavior of the vehicle in motion, in interaction with the air and the road, as well as the factors involved in vehicle dynamics, such as: traction, braking, turning behavior, vertical movements.



Undoubtedly, it is essential to know the behavior of a vehicle in motion to take it into account in the design, manufacture and subsequent development.



The practices on vehicle dynamics will be worked on using calculation software, this year MATLAB/SIMULINK will be used.

SKILLS

Knowledge of vehicle theory and vehicle systems and components.



LEARNING OUTCOMES

TEACHING/LEARNING



Virtual Campus to support the study http://eGela.ehu.es/



The class hours will cover the theoretical and practical aspects of the subject, in a continuous process, which will allow the student a progressive immersion in the field of Vehicle Engineering.

Vehicle Engineering. This requires a continuous and active presence of the student in the classes, participating and enriching the formative process.

is of essential value and will be considered as such.



Active methodologies based on cooperative learning techniques will be followed:

Team based learning (Team based learning)

Flipped Classroom (Flipped Classroom)

Problem based learning (PBL)

Providing continuous feedback.

• Continuous Assessment System
• Final Assessment System
• Tools and qualification percentages:
  • Written test to be taken (%): 30
  • Realization of Practical Work (exercises, cases or problems) (%): 27
  • Team projects (problem solving, project design)) (%): 33
  • Exhibition of works, readings ... (%): 10

The priority and recommended evaluation will be the continuous evaluation, assessing the student's work and the competences worked

student's work and the competences worked (individual and group, face-to-face and non-face-to-face).



The student may waive the continuous assessment and opt for a single final test, after notifying the faculty of waiver of continuous assessment. To do so, the student must send a duly signed letter to the professor responsible for the subject, requesting the waiver of continuous assessment. Said letter must be submitted before week 9 from the beginning of the term in which the subject is taken.



The single final exam will cover all the skills, knowledge and competences developed in this teaching guide.

developed in this teaching guide. This test may contain both theoretical and practical exercises and even the oral defense of the same.



In order to pass the course it is necessary to have passed all the practical exercises, the exams and the presentation of the work. These grades will be used to calculate the weighted average. In case of having failed any practice or exercise, no average will be made and the final grade will be the lowest.



NOTE: In the case that a face-to-face evaluation of the subject cannot be carried out, the pertinent changes will be made for the realization of an online evaluation by means of the use of the existing computer tools in the UPV/EHU. The characteristics of this online evaluation will be published in the student guides and in eGela.

The evaluation of the extraordinary call will be carried out exclusively through the final evaluation system, as established in the student evaluation regulations for the 2023/24 academic year, but in the case that the student has opted for continuous evaluation, the positive results obtained during the course will be considered.

positive results obtained during the course will be taken into account.



For the final evaluation the student must pass various tests, both written, practical or skill and even oral defense, before the court of the teaching team of the subject, in order to verify the acquisition by the student of the competences of the subject.



NOTE: In the event that a face-to-face evaluation of the subject cannot be carried out, the relevant changes will be made for the realization of an online evaluation through the use of existing computer tools in the UPV/EHU. The characteristics of this online evaluation will be published in the student guides and in eGela.
