Course detail

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with
materials for electrical and electronic engineering,
with their classification an with their important
properties. This information enable the basic orientation in the selection of materials for constructions
of electrotechnical and electronic devices and equipments.
The aim in the part "Technical Documentation" is to acquaint students with standardization of documents in elektrotechnology, with ways and demands on their processing. The students will learn the basis of usage of CAD systems, MS Word and Excel.

The student gains elementary knowledge of materials for electrical and electronic engineering. On the base of informations about materials` properties the student will be able to applicate the materials in design of constructions of devices and equipments. Student will be able to create and read technical documents in electrotechnology.

The subject knowledge on the secondary school level is required.

Materials for electrical and electronic engineering, classification. Electrical conducting a resistive materials. Superconductors. Ferro- and ferrimagnetic materials.
Dielectric and insulating materials. Semiconductors. Materials
for optoelectronics. Composites.
Standardization of documents (ISO, EN, IEC, ETS, ČSN). Drawings of parts and assembly. Schemes in electrotechnics. Documentation for printed circuit boards. Diagrams. Text documents. Informative database. Computer support for creating documentation.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Requirements for accreditation:
Performance and passing of reports from laboratory measurements. Passing of drawing documentation. The knowledge of processing AutoCAD for work in 2D.
