Learning outcomes of the course unit

The course in „Electrical Engineering and Electronics“ anables students to brush their knowledge acquired during the previous study and primarily extend the knowledge in this branch. The emphasis will be put on practical verification of the theoretical knowledge at laboratory practices.

Prerequisites

Basic electric and magnetic quantities (electric charge and electric current, vectors of electromagnetic field, integral quantities - electric voltage, magnetic voltage, electric induction flux, magnetic induction flux). Fundamentals of electromegnetics (Coulomb’s law, Biot-Savart’s law, Faraday’s law, Amper’s law). Electric and magnetic properties of matters.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

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

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Conditions for granting a graded course-unit credit: 100% participation at exercises and handing over the protocols from laboratory exercises approved by the teacher. The resulting evaluation is set by point assessment according to the Study and Examination Rules of the Technical University. The students get points from: 1. Written test of presented topics (1st - 5th topic), 0-20 points. 2. Written test of presented topics (7st - 13th topic), 0-40 points. 3. Activity and working out laboratory assignments, 0-40 points.

Aims

The aim of the course is to familiarize the students with the principles of the modern electrical engineering and electronics which are needed for the study of the other engineering disciplines and, in particular, for the future practice in electrical engineering.

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

The controlled lesson is an exercise. There is controlled activity and preparation for exercises and working out assignments. Missed lessons must be compensated with another group or - in exceptional cases - in compensatory lessons designed for this purpose and held in the course of the credit week.
