Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations. Techning methods include lectures, numerical exercises and practical laboratories. Course is taking advantage of e-learning (Moodle) system. Students have to submit a team-based project/assignment during the course.

There are evaluated of laboratory exercises, a group project and final exam according to the rules of FEEC. Laboratory training is rated at maximum of 25 points on the basis of submitted records, whereas 12 points is the minimum for admission to final exam. As for the group project evaluation, at maximum 15 points can be achieved, whereas 5 points is the minimum for admission to final exam. The final exam is of oral form, where 60 point can be acquired maximally and successful pass is conditional on obtaining 20 points at minimum.
Overall classification of the course is in compliance with the FEEC rules. Requirements for completion of the course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible of the course and are updated for every year.
The final exam is aimed at understanding in the field of power engineering apparatus diagnostics using vibro-, infra-, noise-diagnostics and chosen electro-diagnostics methods.

Introducing students to basics of diagnostics and testing, to methods of seeking failures and their analysis in production, transmission, distribution and utilization of electricity. Rating and reliability of used methods and tests. Utilization for apparatus service life control.

The content and forms of course units are specified by a regulation issued by the responsible lecturer and are updated for every academic year. In general, the presence at class is optional except laboratory training, which is mandatory. Missed laboratory training can be accomplished within semester in an alternative date in justified cases, whereas regular letter of apology and agreement with the teacher is required.
