Course detail

Selected Problems of Electrical Machines

FEKT-MPA-SPMAcad. year: 2023/2024

A course on electrical machines with a focus on selected advanced topics and the development of language skills in the context of practical verbal communication. The course includes a wide range of professional issues but also active forms of student work, including the presentation of independent work in a seminar. The topics covered during the semester are designed to broaden students' professional knowledge for better application in professional life, while also teaching them the professional terminology for effective use of the English language in everyday working life.
