Transport by Road Means

Oralbekov Rakhat Oralbekovich

Description: The discipline focuses on studying the design, operating principles, and features of modern motor vehicles. The course covers the main automotive systems — engine, transmission, suspension, steering, and braking systems, as well as safety and diagnostics aspects. Special attention is given to current trends such as electric, hybrid, and autonomous vehicles, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Students gain knowledge of the technical characteristics, energy efficiency, and environmental performance of various vehicle types. Practical classes aim to consolidate theoretical knowledge through the study of real components and assemblies. Independent work focuses on developing analytical and engineering skills through calculations and research of innovative automotive technologies. Upon completion, students acquire competencies necessary for effective operation, maintenance, and improvement of motor vehicles.

Goal

The aim of the discipline is to develop students’ comprehensive knowledge of the design, operation principles, and technical characteristics of motor vehicles. The course focuses on building professional competencies in vehicle operation, maintenance, and diagnostics. Special emphasis is placed on modern technologies, including electric, hybrid, and autonomous vehicles, as well as ADAS systems. Upon completion, students should be able to analyze vehicle technical conditions and make decisions for their effective use and improvement.

Objective

The main learning objectives of the discipline are: - to study the design, operating principles, and functions of main automotive systems and components; - to master methods of diagnostics, maintenance, and evaluation of vehicle performance characteristics; - to develop analytical skills in assessing engineering solutions in automotive technology and modern transport systems; - to build competencies in applying innovations such as electric, hybrid, and autonomous vehicles, and ADAS technologies; - to foster a responsible attitude toward safety, energy efficiency, and environmental sustainability in transport.

Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding

The student should know: - the state of road transport in the world and the Republic of Kazakhstan and the main trends of their development, its impact on the social and economic development of the state; - classification of motor vehicles, their general structure; - purpose, device and principle of operation of the main units, mechanisms and systems of motor vehicles; - design features of various units, mechanisms and systems of motor vehicles; - general requirements for mechanisms and systems of motor vehicles; - specialized rolling stock, its design features; - fundamentals of the theory of motor vehicle movement, basic meters and indicators, methods for assessing the operational properties of motor vehicles; - regulatory documents in the field of construction of motor vehicles that operate in the Republic of Kazakhstan;

Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding

Independently master new designs of motor vehicles, their mechanisms and systems; To determine by the calculated analytical method the main indicators of the operational properties of motor vehicles; To assess the technical level of the main units, mechanisms and systems of motor vehicles; To evaluate the influence of the main characteristics and working processes of mechanisms and systems of motor vehicles on the formation of operational properties.

Learning outcome: formation of judgments

The ability to form judgments about the design and technical characteristics of transport equipment.

Learning outcome: communicative abilities

Ability to solve tasks in cooperation with other members of the team.

Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities

Gaining skills in the study of such disciplines.

Teaching methods

Technology of problem- and project-oriented learning.

Assessment of the student's knowledge

Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

Period	Type of task	Total
Total control	Exam	0-100

The evaluating policy of learning outcomes by work type

Type of task	90-100	70-89	50-69	0-49
Type of task	Excellent	Good	Satisfactory	Unsatisfactory
Criteria for assessing students' knowledge	from 90 to 100 points: demonstration of deep and complete knowledge and understanding of the entire volume of the studied material; full understanding of the essence of the concepts, phenomena and patterns under consideration, theories, relationships; the ability to make a complete and correct answer based on the studied material; highlight the main points, independently support the answer with specific examples, facts; independently make a reasoned analysis, generalize conclusions; the ability to establish interdisciplinary (based on previously acquired knowledge) and intrasubject connections.	from 70 to 89 points: knowledge of all the studied program material; a complete and correct answer based on the studied theories; minor errors and omissions in the reproduction of the studied material, definitions of concepts, inaccuracies in the use of scientific terms or in conclusions and generalizations; the material is presented in a certain logical sequence, but one blunt mistake is allowed or not There are more than two shortcomings, and the student can correct them on his own if required or with a little help from the teacher; he has mostly mastered the educational material.; confirms the answer with specific examples.	from 50-69 points: the answer contains significant deviations from the topic; the analysis of the problem provided by the question is fragmentary and incomplete; facts are not always separated from opinions, but the student understands the difference between them.	from 90 to 100 points: demonstration of deep and complete knowledge and understanding of the entire volume of the studied material; full understanding of the essence of the concepts, phenomena and patterns under consideration, theories, relationships; the ability to make a complete and correct answer based on the studied material; highlight the main points, independently support the answer with specific examples, facts; independently make a reasoned analysis, generalize conclusions; the ability to establish interdisciplinary (based on previously acquired knowledge) and intrasubject connections.

Evaluation form

The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:

40% of the examination result;
60% of current control result.

The final grade is calculated by the formula:

FG = 0,6	MT₁+MT₂	+0,4E
	2

Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;

E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.

Final alphabetical grade and its equivalent in points:

The letter grading system for students' academic achievements, corresponding to the numerical equivalent on a four-point scale:

Alphabetical grade	Numerical value	Points (%)	Traditional grade
A	4.0	95-100	Excellent
A-	3.67	90-94	Excellent
B+	3.33	85-89	Good
B	3.0	80-84
B-	2.67	75-79
C+	2.33	70-74
C	2.0	65-69	Satisfactory
C-	1.67	60-64
D+	1.33	55-59
D	1.0	50-54
FX	0.5	25-49	Unsatisfactory
F	0	0-24	Unsatisfactory
