Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will receive a survey about problems connected with diagnostics of electrical materials and devices, about principles and organization of testing in Czech Rep. Students will be acquaint with tests which are obligatory at introducing a new electrical product to market. In practise they will be able to suggest a suitable diagnostic method for solving of a concrete diagnostic problem.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of physics and mathematics on the secondary level of education.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
