Aims

The aim of the course in the part "Materials in electrotechnical" is to acquaint students with materials for electrical and electronic engineering, with their classification and important properties. This information supports basic orientation in selection of materials for construction of electrotechnical and electronic devices and equipments. At the same time, the student acquires the basics of the terminology used in these areas in the English language.
The aim in the part "Technical Documentation" is to acquaint students with standardization of documents in electrotechnology, with ways and demands on their processing. The students get acquainted with compilation of technical documents on practical examples and acquire good knowledge of aided engineering systems (CAD, CAM, CAE, PDM). The students will learn the basics of the usage of MS Word and Excel and will get acquainted with basic software environment and control of CAD systems.

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

The content and forms of instruction in the evaluated course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year.
