questionnaire 1 : positive points about the lecture (1/3) positive points about the lecture Understood the importance of front- loading process. It was good to learn about the automotive manufacturer's powertrain development.(3) Lecture materials were very clear, detailed and easy to read. (2) Detailed examples of analysis on engine development helped students have a clear image of the development process. Could deepen the knowledge of state- of- the- art technology. Lecture was conducted in plain English so it was easy to understand. Could deepen the knowledge of development process of automotive engine and its methodology.
questionnaire 1 : positive points about the lecture (2/3) positive points about the lecture Learnt about the important considerations in engine research and development from the engineer's perspective. Gained increased knowledge of AVL. Learnt about the methodology for developing a reliable and high- performance powertrain and had better understanding on automotive manufacturer's technology and its development activities. Introduction of development tool was interesting. I was more interested in the lecture thanks to the mini quiz. It was a good opportunity to listen to the lecture in English.
questionnaire 1 : positive points about the lecture (3/3) positive points about the lecture Comparison of manufacturers was very interesting. Summary of advantage / disadvantage of each type of HEV was very interesting.
questionnaire 2 : suggestions for improvement (1/2) suggestions for improvement Lecture was not conducted in an interactive manner. (2) It would have been better if the lecture had been more participative and open to the students. It is questionable whether mini quiz was really necessary. Many students were just copying the sentences in the materials. Writing a report would be better. The intention of some problems in the mini quiz was not very clear and hard to answer. Time for mini quiz was sometimes too short. Some lecture materials were difficult to understand. Language barrier prevented some students from deepening the understanding.
questionnaire 2 : suggestions for improvement (2/2) suggestions for improvement Volume of Prof. 's material was slightly too much and the latter half of his lecture seemed to be a bit too brief. Narrowing down the topics would be better. (esp.front loading process) Some technical terms were difficult to understand in English. (2) It seems attendance has not been considered for the assessment.
questionnaire 3 : Impressed topics of the lecture (2/2) Impressed topics of the lecture Front loading process(2) Concept of Hybrid Vehicle Engine (Learnt the point that HV engine is operated at the rate of maximum efficient point and its surplus power is allotted for charging.) Advantages of stroke engines in generating outputs Base engine simulation (If students are provided the opportunity for simulation experience, it would be interesting.) Optimum engine layout Optimum combustion chamber shape of diesel engine Lecture about the process of each engine type s development and its operating principle was interesting.
questionnaire 3 : Impressed topics of the lecture (2/2) Impressed topics of the lecture AVL integrated powertrain development methodology Task allocation method in the development process. Types of suspension and its structure Front- loading Method (to put the greater proportion of the workload at the beginning of the development process) With the advancement of simulation technology, this trend will be strengthened.
a questionnaire 4,5 : Rating for self-evaluation v.s. for lecture (2 people) Good lecture! (2 people)
