Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The purpose of the course is that students get an idea of the basic principles of electrotechnics to a degree necessary for Mechanical Engineering Faculty graduates who will need them as users in their future careers. Learn about the connection between mechanical and electronical parts of equipment that they will use at work.
Another goal is to teach students how and where to find relevant information (literature, norms, the Internet...)
Teaching methods
Lectures
Individual consultations
Tutorials
Experimental work in labs
Project work
Summary
The course brings further information about the basics of semiconductor technology. It is a continuation of Electrical Engineering I and II courses, included in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering bachelor study program. As for the contents, the course looks at semiconductor devices, the way they work and their practical applications in weak current electronic circuits and in power electronic circuits.

Way of continuous check of knowledge in the course of semester
- Short entrance tests before laboratory measurements to check if students are ready for measurements.
- Measurement protocols including an evaluation of results.
- Checking students‘ knowledge in discussions and questions in the seminar. Encouraging students to be active in the process of identifying problems, looking for their solutions and interpreting results
- Tests including calculation problems and/or selected factual knowledge.
- Course work. First, students have to orientate in the given data, then they assess them, select relevant information and present their solution. The result is presented in the final form of the course work.
