The three-year study area POWER ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING (B-SEE) in the bachelor’s degree programme at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication (FEEC) BUT aims to educate field specialists with a good knowledge of theory, design, construction and application of electrotechnical components and systems in diverse areas of consumer and industrial electrical engineering. This branch of study also embraces power and control electronics including control of drives in automated production systems and computer control of power aggregates.
Instruction is ensured by the Department of Power Electrical and Electronic Engineering (ÚVEE) and the Department of Electrical Power Engineering (ÚEEN). A wide range of optional courses along with an individual technical project and the bachelor’s final work enable students to focus on power electrical engineering including construction, building and production of electrical machines and appliances and other electrotechnical devices, on design and realization of electrical control drives, power electronics appliances and complex industrial automation, and finally on electric power engineering with an orientation towards the production, transmission and supply of electrical power and use of lighting and thermal technology. Moreover, students acquire relevant knowledge of applied informatics. In order to broaden their knowledge, they may choose inter-disciplinary courses offered in other study areas in the bachelor’s degree programme at FEEC BUT and also language, economics, management and ecology courses.

Graduate get knowledge of electrical machines, apparatus, electrical drives and power electronics and further knowledge of power systems such as power plants, transmission, distribution and exploitation of electrical energy and of related branches such as electronics, measurements and control and computer exploitation. Graduates get university grade (BSc., BEng., Bc.) of Electrical Eengineering. After a short professional training the graduates may perform technical and manager functions and rise their career Graduates of the branch Power Electrical Engineering and Power Systems may find occupation above all in industry but also in commerce- and other corporations, not only in the electrical area.

The graduates of B-SEE have a profound knowledge of electrical machines, appliances, drives and power electronics, they are familiar with areas of electric power engineering related to production, transmission, supply and use of electric power and have general knowledge of relevant study areas such as electronics, measurement, regulation and computer use. A broad scope of application-oriented study ensures high adaptability of graduates to specific requirements of their future professions, also in other areas of power electronic and electrical engineering.
The graduates of this branch of study may find future employment as field specialists mainly in industry but also in trading and other not only electrotechnical companies. In all these fields, they are prepared to assume lower executive and management positions. A strong practical orientation of study enables direct engagement of graduates into production, operating and service processes and provides them with a good background to increase their theoretical knowledge in the follow-up master’s degree programme.
