Activities of teaching and learning:
During the lectures, students acquire theoretical knowledge of subject, which is supported by classroom exercises and semester projects and assignments. Practical abilities and skills are developed in the laboratory. In the programme for theoretical lectures are allocated about 60%, and for exercises and laboratory work – 40% of the classroom instruction time. Instructors are encouraged to increase the use of teamwork and problem-based learning, particularly in laboratory work. This is the way to develop students’ practical skills, which are highly desirable by employers and attractive for students.
The study program concludes with a Bachelor's final project.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
For comprehensive and objective assessment of learning achievement results the ten-point grading scale and accumulation scheme motivating systematic performance of a student throughout all the semester are applied. The results of self-study during the semester (laboratory works, semester projects, individual projects and other) are evaluated and graded. During exam session final grade is calculated, i.e. the separate grades are multiplied by weighted factors and the obtained products summed up.
Framework:
Study subjects (modules), practical training:
The study program is covered by 37 study subjects; semester project (6 credits), practice (15 credits) and the final bachelor project (15 credits) is performed.
Study structure consists of groups of subjects:
General Subjects of University Studies (12 credits, 2 subjects)
Core Subjects of Engineering (12 credits, 2 subjects))
Mathematics and Physical Sciences Subjects (30 credits, 5 subjects)
Core Field Subjects (114 credits, 19 subjects);
Specialisation subjects (24 credits, 4 items – one semester project and two electives);
Optional Subjects (6 credits, 1 subject)
Some Core Field Subjects:
“Electronics Systems of Electric Vehicles”, “Maintenance and Reliability of Electronic Transport Systems”, “Embedded Systems”, “Transportation Forecasting and Control Systems”
and more core field foundations subjects such as “Signals and Systems”, “Digital Devices”, “Analog Devices”.
In the eighth semester, there is 15 credit practical training subject that address real challenges. The result of the practice training is the fully designed or even prototyped layout of the device.
Specializations:
Automotive Electronics, Aviation Electronics
