Students will also acquire practical skills necessary for servicing and diagnostics of simple faults of electric devices.

Prerequisites

Fundamentals of Dynamics Mechanisms, Fundamentals of Theory of Linear Control Systems, Fundamentals of Theory Electric Machines and Apparatuses, Schemes and Function of Electric Energy Converters.

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.
According to the possibility of teaching can be organized lectures for students by practitioners and excursions to companies focused on activities related to the course content.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The graded course-unit credit granting is conditioned by handing over an individual work concerning a pre-set topic and passing the test of presented topics. The resulting evaluation is set by point assessment according to the Study and Examination Rules of the Technical University. Students can gain points from 2 parts: 1. Written test of presented topics, 0-50 points. 2. Quality of working out individual assignments, 0-50 points.
