F5 Recognize the need for, and have the ability to engage in independent, life-long learning.

Activities of teaching and learning:
Knowledge and practical abilities are acquired in auditoriums, laboratories and during independent work. Classroom work: lectures, laboratory work, tutorials and seminars. Student's independent work: studying theoretical material, writing semester reports, preparing to the lectures, laboratory work and exercises, midterm and final exams, homework and project development and other activities. The study program concludes with a practice and the bachelor's final project.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Student's knowledge, abilities and skills acquired by studying the module during the semester are evaluated and databases recorded twice: when the self-reporting of the semester work tasks (positive or negative evaluation) and during the exam session (in ten-grade scale).
Student achievement can be assessed by these methods:
• Oral or written examination
• Colloquium
• Mid-term exam
• Control works by closed and (or) open-ended tasks
• Individual work;
• Tasks solution;
• Lab reports and defense,
• Oral and poster reports.
Ten-point scale and the cumulative assessment scheme is applied for knowledge assessment. The final grade is defined by weighted sum of individual grades obtained during the semester.
Framework:
Study subjects (modules), practical training:
The study program is covered by 40 study subjects; practice (15 credits) and the final bachelor project (15 credits) is performed.
The study program is designed so that each subsequent study subject is based on the knowledge and skills of previous subjects that students can smoothly and successfully achieve the learning outcomes. The number of mandatory subjects studied semester does not exceed 5. One semester consists of 30 credits.
Study structure consists of groups of subjects:
• General Subjects of University Studies (15 credits, 3 subjects)
• Core Subjects of Engineering (27 credits, 5 subjects))
• Mathematics and Physical Sciences Subjects (36 credits, 6 subjects)

• Core Field Subjects (78 credits, 14 subjects)
• Major Field Subjects (30 credits, 5 subjects, two of which are alternatives)
• Optional Subjects (6 credits)
• Practice: (18 credits, two subjects)
Final bachelor project (15 credits)
Prospective undergraduates are studying:
• General Subjects of University Studies: Electives of Philosophy, Elective of Personal health education, Foreign Language Electives (Level C1)
