The study area “Electrotechnical Manufacturing and Management” (M-EVM) in the master’s degree programme “Electronic, Electrical, Communication and Control Technology” (EEKR) at FEEC BUT aims to educate MSc graduates for the field of electrical engineering who can assume not only executive and management positions, but also creative positions in research and development. Electrical engineering industry utilises a variety of production technologies ranging from procedures used for large-sized objects, to specialized procedures used for miniaturised objects and quite unique technologies which are about to overcome physical limitations. The wide spectrum of procedures offers numerous possibilities of their application and economic appraisal.
The major objective of this branch of study is to prepare graduates able to deal with challenging technical problems in electrotechnical manufacturing, also in economic connotations with respect to quality and ecology of production. The study in this branch of the master’s degree programme can be commenced only after students have successfully completed the bachelor’s degree programme and passed the bachelor’s final state examination, preferably in a programme oriented towards electrical engineering, information technology and economics.
Instruction is ensured primarily by the Department of Electrotechnology (UETE) at FEEC BUT. Students’ knowledge is expanded within technical courses oriented towards electronic and electrical engineering, electronic and electrotechnical appliances and devices, design in CAD systems, materials in electrical engineering, production processes and their control, diagnostics, testing, reliability and quality control, production planning, logistics and ecology with a considerable share of knowledge in the area of economics, management and marketing. The composition of courses enables students to specialize in the field of electronic and electrotechnical production. Theoretical knowledge is increased in courses within theoretical extension in higher Mathematics, Physics and Theoretical Electrical Engineering. In order to broaden their knowledge, students also choose optional courses from other branches of the master’s degree programme EEKR at FEEC BUT, and also language and general knowledge courses. Selected courses in economics, management and marketing are taught by pedagogues from the Faculty of Business and Management, BUT.

The branch profiles graduates to independent creative and control work in the spheres of electronic and electrotechnical technology and production. Graduates of the branch have fundamental engineering knowledge and skill in many branches of electrical engineering like computer technique, information and control systems, automation and measuring technique and extensive knowledge and skill in the spheres of computer aided design systems, designing of electronic elements and their application, design and production of printed circuit boards, surface mounting, in the spheres of development and design of electrotechnical products, production processes, technology and materials for electrotechnics, diagnostics, quality control and ecological relations. They gain fundamental knowledge in the spheres of economy, management and marketing.
Graduates are able, according to their closer profile in special subjects, to solve independently sophisticated tasks focused not only on development, design and realization of electronic and electrotechnical production but also on tasks connected with projecting and logistic ensuring of production, diagnostics and testing, quality control and reliability of products and with ecology of production processes. Knowledge in the spheres of economy, management and marketing enable them to be oriented also in problems of control of production and its economic evaluation.
Graduates of the studies will find posts in electrotechnical practice, in creative work, research and development in production, in managing functions in electrotechnical firms and companies or they can continue in PhD programme of studies. In the sphere of electrotechnical production they will find posts everywhere in plants where general knowledge of various branches of electrical engineering, computer technique, information and control systems, microelectronics, automation and measuring technique and further specialized, knowledge in the spheres like modern computer aided design systems, electronic parts and elements, production processes and technology, materials for electrotechnical industry, quality control, projecting of production, ecology of production processes and fundamentals of technical and economic preparation and control of production are required.

The graduates of this branch have a profound knowledge of computer-aided design systems, design of electronic components and their application, design and manufacturing of printed circuit boards, surface mount technology, development and construction of electrotechnical products, production processes, technologies and materials in electrical engineering, diagnostics, reliability and quality control and related ecological aspects. Students are introduced to the basic concepts of economics, management and marketing. At the same time, they have essential knowledge of diverse areas of electrical engineering, such as information technology, information and control systems, automation and measurement. Depending on their specialization, the graduates are able to solve challenging problems not only in development, design and realization of electronic and electrotechnical productions, but also tasks related to planning and logistics of production, diagnostics, testing, and quality control, reliability of production and ecological aspects of the production process. Knowledge of economics, management and marketing helps them become familiar with production control and its economic appraisal. The graduates of this branch find employment in electrical engineering practice, research and development and production, and assume creative, executive and management positions in electrotechnical companies. As far as electrotechnical manufacturing is concerned, graduates may assume positions in all areas requiring generic knowledge of diverse disciplines of electrical engineering, information technology, information and control systems, microelectronics, automation and measurement, and also specialized knowledge of disciplines such as modern computer-aided design systems, components and elements, production processes and technologies, materials in electrical engineering, quality control, production planning, ecology of the production process and the essentials of technical and economic planning and control of production.
