Course detail

Electrical Engineering and Electronics of Machines and Equipment (M&E)

FSI-JEE-KAcad. year: 2009/2010

The course makes students familiar with basic principles of electrical engineering and electronics of machines and equipment in mechanical engineering. This involves the overview of basic electrical properties of electric machines, electric drives with AC motors and semiconductor converters, electric drives with DC motors and electric servo drives. Attention will be also paid to the fundamentals of modern electric drive designing. Students will also learn in detail of electrical and electronic accessories as well as of power distribution in machines and equipment.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will acquire the knowledge of electrical engineering, which is necessary for the design and construction of machines and equipment in mechanical engineering. The subject will extend the knowledge of students in mechanical engineering at the required level. The students will acquire practical skills, which are necessary for handling equipment and machines and their appropriate operation in mechanical engineering.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of the electrical engineering principles at the secondary school level and at least the graduating of basic electrical engineering lectures within a bachelor study is expected. The emphasis is put on the basic knowledge in the field of electric machines.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Requirement for credit award, exam form and way and rules of final course classification:
The course-unit credit requirements: it is necessary to meet the prescribed and advised requirements (the compulsory attendance at the laboratory practices and gaining the prescribed score during the term). The examination has written and oral parts. The students will answer 10 questions during the written examination, which will be scored – the maximum score is 100. The oral examination will verify the student’s knowledge of topics presented during the term.

Aims

The objective of the course is to make students familiar with the current state and the possibilities that electrical engineering and electronics of machines and equipment provide. Students will be able to apply their findings to power machines, process machines and equipment, fluid machines, production machines and robots, transport technology, constructional and transport machines, chemical and food industry machines, and aircraft technology.

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

The attendance at seminars is checked at the beginning of the lesson in the laboratory, scored evaluation of lab protocols , scored evaluation based on two check tests during a term. Students can make up for the missed laboratory practice (in justified cases) during the term in other study groups, or the compensatory laboratory practices will be announced at the end of the term by the Department Management.
