Learning Objectives
The purpose of the course is to provide students with the essential elements of the construction of a car and a motorcycle.
The in-depth knowledge of the theoretical-scientific aspects of engineering, in which they are able to identify, formulate and solve, even in an innovative way, complex problems or those requiring an interdisciplinary approach. The ability to understand a multidisciplinary context in the engineering field.
The ability to apply one's own knowledge to the optimization of the development in the vehicles engineering field, as well as of the evolution in the mechanical engineering field. The adequate ability to understand sources in English. The ability to reach a preparation for success at the third level of university studies, in order to deepen the research skills and abilities.

Prerequisites
The notions regarding the mechanics of the vehicle are considered as preparatory.
Teaching Methods
Lectures
Further information
The course is considered to be integrated with the course “Complements of Construction of Road Vehicles Design” that completes the functional and performance description of the organs of road vehicles.
Type of Assessment
Oral exam.
The questions are aimed at verifying the knowledge of the field of land vehicles by analyzing the structural aspects of the various types of vehicles and verifying the understanding of the engineering context and the interdisciplinary implications that characterize the land vehicle sector.
The student must demonstrate that he has acquired the knowledge of the field of land vehicles by analyzing the structural aspects of the various types of vehicles and the understanding of the engineering context and the interdisciplinary implications that distinguish the land vehicle sector.
