3. Will know the structure and operation of electrical equipment and automation systems;
4. Will know the principles of control of controllers, microcontrollers, electric drives and other electrical equipment;
To be able to perform engineering analysis:
5. Will analyze the tasks of company’s electricity economy and choose appropriate tools to solve them;
6. Will analyze automation processes and adopt technical-economic solutions for automation development;
7. Will analyze challenges arising in a company's electricity economy
To have knowledge and skills required to complete the design works of study programme in electronics and electrical engineering study field:
8. Will apply computer programs for calculating and designing electrical and automation systems;
9. Will select and apply automation elements in automated control systems;
10. Will calculate key parameters of electric equipment and network and select their elements.
11. Will formulate and execute design tasks according to defined requirements;
To be able to carry out applied research
12. Will find the latest information in various sources of information and be able to cull from it;
13. Will be able to work with laboratory equipment of electrical network measurements and electric drive testing and to interpret the obtained data;
14. Will be able to diagnose failures of industrial equipment and identify their causes;
To have practical knowledge and skills to solve engineering problems
15. Will control electric drive systems.
16. Will automate technological processes;
17. Will organize and safely do installation, exploitation and repair works of electric and automatic equipment.
18. Will program automatic control devices;
19. Will assess the cost-effectiveness and environmental impact of engineering solutions;
Personal and social abilities:
20. Will communicate and collaborate with both the engineering community and the general public and adapt to the constant changes in professional activity;
21. Will independently organize the activity of the company (branch), realizing the responsibility for the results of engineering activities.
Activities of teaching and learning:
To achieve the outcomes of the studies presentation methods of teaching are applied (lectures, demonstration, discussion, work in groups, projection, etc.) when information is given to the learners and heuristic or active work methods (seminars, practical workshops, laboratory workshops, practices) when information is adjusted with the task, student is given situations that are close to the situations of professional activities, where the student is a participant of the study process, he/she is active, takes decisions and is responsible for them (analysis of situations).
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Ten point criteria based assessment system as well as cumulative assessment is applied. Outcomes of the study subject are evaluated through medium credits during the semester (papers are written, projects made, laboratory works described and then presented orally, etc.). Studies of each subject end with exam or assessment of a work (project) done by the student independently. Final evaluation (mark) is compiled from medium credits and exam (project / work) marks. Its composition is calculated according to the ratios intended in the description of the subject. The study programme is completed with the Graduation Project.
Framework:
Scope of study field subjects is 161 credits (including practices).
Main studied subjects:
Electrotechnical Materials, Engineering and Computer Graphics,,Physics, Mathematics, Basics of Automation, Electrical Measurements, Electromechanical Converters, Theoretical Electrotechnics, Environmental and Human Safety, Electrical Drives, Technical Mechanics, Exploitation of Technological Equipment, Programming of Logic Controllers, Applied Electronics, Power Generation Technologies, Consumer Electricity Networks, Automation Systems Communication, Electropneumatic systems, Automation of Technological Processes, Engineering Economics, Automation of Technological Processes and others.
The total duration of practices is 20 weeks:
Electrical Installation practice – 4 weeks;
Electrical Equipment Installation and Exploitation practices – 6 weeks;
Practice of Installation and Operation of Automation Equipment – 6 weeks;
Pre-graduation practice – 4 weeks.
Specialisations:

Optional courses:
Students can choose one of the optional subjects: Building Monitoring and Control Systems / Construction of Automation Modules; Electric Drives Control Systems / Electric Distribution Network; PLC Systems / Basics of Robotics.
Students can choose general college study subjects: Professional Foreign Language, Basics of Management / Communication Psychology, Technical Philosophy / Fundamentals of Law / Engineering Research.
Distinctive features of a study programme:
Interdisciplinary study programme, developing special skills in the study fields of electrical engineering and electronics engineering, leading to particularly good employability of graduates.
Access to professional activity or further study:
After acquiring the qualification degree of an electrical engineer, students will be able to work as electrical engineers in electricity network companies, in companies operating, installing and repairing electrical equipment and their control systems, and in companies engaged in automation of technological processes.
Access to further study:
Studies can be continued in universities following the study programmes in the fields of Engineering Sciences of Electrical Engineering and Electronics.
