Course detail

Electromechanical Machine Systems

FSI-5ESAcad. year: 2025/2026

The subject provides students with an interpretation of electromechanical machine systems. The synergy of the machine (mechanical) and electrical parts is shown. The student will thus understand two systems that work together as a whole, and which are an essential part of all today's modern constructions of machine systems. Everything is demonstrated using examples, and the student thus learns the basic concepts of this system.

Entry knowledge

• material sciences (choice of materials),
• construction (drawing documentation),
• technical mechanics.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The subject is completed by taking an exam after the credit has been previously awarded. The credit confirms that the student actively participated in the work during the semester and obtained at least 50 points out of the maximum number of 100 points. The point assessment criterion is the degree of ability to correctly solve assigned tasks independently. Points from exercises do not transfer to the exam.

The exam determines the comprehensive mastery of the material defined in the subject card, especially the ability to apply the acquired knowledge independently and in a creative way. The degree of mastery of the issue is evaluated in the range of 0 to 100 points. The student must obtain at least 50 points out of a maximum of 100 points.

The exam has a written and an oral part. The written part of the exam is mandatory for all students. It consists of four tasks. The oral part of the exam is optional.

Lectures: participation is voluntary.

Exercise: participation is mandatory and controlled by the teacher. They allow a maximum of two absences. In case of long-term absence, compensation for missed lessons is the responsibility of the subject guarantor.

Aims

Graduates will be able to design electromechanical machine systems that work on the principle of linear, rotary and combined movements, including mechanical and electrical parts.

Furthermore, they will be able to apply these basic movements to more complex machinery. In addition to the mechanical part of these systems, they will be able to design the electrical part.
