English

Number of ECTS credits

6

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students gain practical knowledge and skills with use of key software simulation tools, which are used in the study to solve many tasks in modelling and simulation of power equipment.

Prerequisites

The subject knowledge on the secondary school level is required. PC skills in Windows environment.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The course is continually assessed using a points system where students gain points for individual tasks and assignments. The tasks may be solved during the lessons and / or as homework. Students have enough opportunities to gain necessary points for successful passing the course and evaluation is spread throughout the entire semester.

Aims

The aim of the course is to improve students' practical skills in working with the computer to solve simple physical problems related to electrical engineering and power engineering. Students should acquire skills that enable them better address many problems that occur later in the study of power engineering. Emphasis is focused on understanding the principles and fundamentals of mathematical models and simulation process.
With only practical instruction on computers students receive routine habits, which they use in both study and practice. They will be able to make an informed choice, which method and computer program to choose for solving a specific problem, which appears to be a key element.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

The content and forms of instruction in the evaluated course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year.
