Activities of teaching and learning:
Study module material is acquired during student's classroom and self-study. Student's classroom work includes lectures, exercises, laboratory work, etc. Student's self-study activities include understanding of theoretical material, preparation for lectures, laboratory work and exercises, mid-term assignments, preparation for exam, preparation of homework and projects. The main teaching methods are: lectures, exercises, laboratory work, group work, case studies, consulting workshops, project activities, company visits, etc. In addition to the basic study methods, the innovative teaching methods are used. Design-based thinking helps learn to solve difficult-to-solve electronics and electricity-related problems, such as those in real life and with more than one solution or approach. The case study approach will help students identify, analyze a real problem, come up with alternative solutions, and ultimately make a reasonable choice of the most appropriate solution. Innovative study methods motivate students to actively participate in lectures, engage in the learning process, independently search for solutions, actively communicate and cooperate.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Various ways of evaluating learning outcomes are used: examinations, computer testing, problem solving analysis, reports, presentations, laboratory reports, practice reports, project reports, peer reviews, and more. A comprehensive and objective assessment of student achievements is based on a ten-point criteria scale and a cumulative assessment scheme that promotes systematic work during the semester.
Independent work of the students' semester: laboratory works, course papers, individual works, etc., is evaluated by grade. After the final evaluation of the exam, the final mark is determined by multiplying the individual marks by the determined weighting and summing the product.
Framework:
Study subjects (modules), practical training:
The study program is covered by 23 study subjects, product development project (12 credits), practice (15 credits) and the final bachelor project (15 credits).
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 (96 credits, 15 subjects, one is elective).
Practice: (15 credits)
The Core Field Subjects of Engineering in the curriculum provide opportunities for students to acquire basic knowledge of EE from traditional subjects such as Materials Science and Engineering, Circuit Theory, Signals and Systems, Electronics. These subjects are the base for core subjects and electives. The course Fundamentals of Digital and Microprocessor Systems targets digital and mixed signal electronic devices, provides the knowledge and basic skills for analysis, experimental investigation and design. The subject Analog Devices provides knowledge and skills for analysis, experimental study and design of low-and high-frequency analog electronic devices. Electronics engineer in his or her practical activity is fully involved in experimentation.
Therefore, the knowledge and skills of Basics of Measurements and Metrology are undoubtedly important. Electrical Engineering knowledge is provided in subjects Power Electronics and Energy Converters, Smart Electrical Systems of Buildings, also subjects Power transmission, Energy Economics, Smart Electric Power Systems provides knowledge about electrical system operation and control.
Specializations:
-
Optional courses:
In order to allow students to acquire knowledge from specific areas of EE, one group of modules (includes both fields - Electronics and Electrical) called Electives, is included in the 5th semester. Students can choose subjects of electives according to their interests, needs or expected future occupation. The elective subjects are: Applied Electrodynamics, Smart Electrical Systems of Buildings, Sensors, 6 credits each.
