Course detail

Electrical Engineering Fundamentals

FSI-BZE-KAcad. year: 2016/2017

The course focuses at the basics of electric and electronic circuits, electric machines and electric drives, in the extent necessary for bachelor-level students of the given branch of study. Attention is also paid to the theory of electric measurements and the questions of safety at work. Special emphasis is put on laboratory seminars where the students get the chance to verify the selected problems presented during lectures in practice.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

The course allows the students to take up on the knowledge obtained throughout earlier study, to deepen it and to broaden it with the given fields. Emphasis is put on practical verification of theoretical knowledge in laboratory seminars.

Prerequisites

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

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The course is completed with a course-unit credit and an exam. To obtain the course-unit credit, it is necessary to fulfil the specified requirements, i.e. to be present in 100% of laboratory seminars, to elaborate a report from each laboratory seminar and to submit it in due time and furthermore, to obtain at least 12 points for these reports. For each report, the maximum of 4 points can be awarded; therefore, the maximum score that can be achieved for laboratory seminars is 20 points. These points are counted towards the total classification of the course. Student’s activity in preparation of laboratory seminars and during the seminars is also one of the criteria of evaluation. The lecturer can test it in various ways, i.e. in the form of a short test or an oral examination. The lecturer can order the inactive student to leave the laboratory and the student is then obliged to repeat the laboratory seminar in alternative time. The exam is carried out in the form of a scored written test for which the student can obtain up to 80 points. The overall classification of the course is determined as the sum of the points from laboratory seminars and for the written test during examination; the maximum of 100 points can be achieved. The result of the exam is classified according to the ECTS classification scale.

Aims

The objective of the course is to obtain theoretical knowledge and practical experience in the basics of electrotechnics.

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

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