    Automotive Engineering Laboratory

    The main idea of the Automotive Engineering Laboratory is to provide a user-oriented approach to the teaching and research of current automotive engineering issues. The underlying concept is twofold: in addition to offering technical and manpower support for current project and research work, students are effectively introduced to engineering issues at an early stage through practicals and project work.
