Course detail

Electrical Engineering and Electronics

FSI-CEL-KAcad. year: 2012/2013

The subject is focused on the principles of electrical and electronic circuits, electrical machines and electrical drives in a scope of a bachelor study at faculties of mechanical engineering. Attention is devoted to the theory of electrical measurements and safety at work. Special attention is laid on laboratories where the students shall apply their theoretical knowledge in practice.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

The subject of electrical engineering and electronics takes up the previous study and deepens and extends the knowledge in the aforementioned field. Emphasis is laid on the practical application of theoretical knowledge in laboratories.

Prerequisites

Knowledge in mathematics and physics in a scope of the study at Faculty of Mechanical Engineering is expected.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The teaching practice depends on the teaching methods which are described in the Study and Test Guideline, Article 7, and be effective at the Brno University of Technology.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The subject is completed by the credit and the examination. The prescribed requirements with which the students shall be familiarized at the beginning of the semester, i.e. compulsory participation in laboratories, elaborating and well-timed handover of all laboratory reports from all laboratory practices and at least the scoring of 12 from the laboratory reports submitted, must be met to achieve the credit. Each laboratory report can be assessed with the maximum scoring of 2, that is, the maximum scoring rate is 20 from the whole laboratory practice. The scoring is added to the total subject classification. The student’s active approach in the laboratory practice preparation and during the laboratory practice itself is also included as one criterion. The student’s knowledge may be tested by the lecturer in different ways, for example, in short tests or oral examinations. The lecturer can put the non-active student out of the laboratory, and the student shall be obliged to repeat the laboratory practice in the alternative time. The examination is in a form of a written test which is scored. The maximum scoring is 80. The final scoring rate of the subject shall be summed of the laboratory scoring and the scoring of the written test, and the maximum scoring is 100. The subject is classified according to the ECTS classification scale.

Aims

The objective of the subject is to familiarize the students with the principles of the advanced electrical engineering which are necessary for the study of other mechanical engineering disciplines, and mainly to be skill in technical practice.

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

The presence of the students in laboratories shall be checked during the semester and each laboratory report shall be scored. In case of regularly apologized student’s absence in the laboratory practice, the student may attend the laboratory practice together with other student team if agreed with the lecturer, or again in case of an apologized absence to participate in the alternative laboratory practice at the end of the semester.
