Aims

Make the one's acquaintance principle of safe layout and safe operation of electrical devices and installation of low voltage as a part of FEEC students' erudition.
Prepare students to examination in accordance to public notice CUBP and CBU No. 50/1978 Sb. about qualification in electrical engineering, to after successful fulfillment of examination acquire qualification "worker for independent activity". This qualification is necessary for independent work on electrical devices and installation.
