F4 A holistic approach to the impact that all engineering activities have on the society and the environment; the ability to maintain professional ethics and engineering norms; a thorough understanding of the responsibilities in terms of conducting any engineering activity.
Activities of teaching and learning:
All the material of the courses are assimilating by the student's during classrooms and individual work. Classroom work includes lectures, laboratory work and practical exercises. Student's individual work is devoted to understand theoretical material, prepare for lectures, laboratory work and practical exercises, for evaluation the of semester assignments and final exams, homework, projects, and other knowledge, skills and abilities. The study program concludes with a Master's final project.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
For comprehensive and objective assessment of students’ achievement the ten point grading scale and accumulation scheme motivating systematic performance of a student through out 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 the 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:
Study subjects are divided into four categories: common core study subjects (24 ECTS), specialized elective study subjects (36 ECTS), individual research (48 ECTS), and freely elective study subjects (12 ECTS).
The core study subjects („Experiment methodology and planning“, „Digital signal processing“, „Embedded system design“) are taught at the beginning of the studies. In third semester subject Measurements and Electromagnetic compatibility is taught. Those are the most general study subjects, which provide the background for the specialized study subjects assigned to chosen study track.
A great attention is paid to obtaining knowledge and skills of the research work in the Programme. The research work knowledge and skills are acquired in most of the subjects, especially the dedicated ones: „Experiment methodology and planning“, „Research Project“, „Research Project 1“, „ Research Project 2“ and „Final Degree Project “. In total, those study subjects have 54 credits. The first study subject introduces the research work and the methodology to students, explains the difference of research from engineering work, and indicates the importance of the mathematical simulation, the meaning of the physical experiment and model adequacy investigation. The latter four study subjects are meant to train the independent research skills under the guidance of the supervisor.
Specialisations:
Optional courses:
On the first and the second semesters, students of EE Master study programme have the possibility to include any two Master studies subjects offered in KTU or any other university into their individual plan of studies as free elective subjects (altogether 12 ECTS).
The students willing to act on their own are allowed to choose their own individual path.
The widest choice of elective study subjects is in specialization “Electronics technologies”:- 12 study subjects are offered in total. The subjects of this specialty provide knowledge and skills in electronics equipment design (mechanical, thermal and electrical limits calculation) and electronics goods manufacturing technology (materials, manufacturing procedures, process selection and optimization). Electronics technologies specialists are wanted in Lithuanian electronics enterprises, which have manufacturing departments: Kitron, Telga, Teltonika, Selteka, Elgama-Elektronika etc. This specialization dedicates a lot of attention to practical skills development.
The “Embedded systems” study track contains 4-5 study subjects (study subject „Electronic system testing“ can be added also). The subjects of this specialty deepen the knowledge and skills in design and implementation of the programmable electronic systems for integration into process control, measurement and data transmission equipment. It is very important for Lithuanian electronics industry. The enterprises: Axis Industries, Elinta, Elgama-Elektronika, Elsis, Selteka, Teltonika, Terra Electronics, etc. are developing embedded systems. The specialization covers wide range of subjects: from microcontrollers, signal processors, architectures and principles of the FPGA digital systems to integration into the systems and programming.
Four study subjects can be assigned in “Radio communication systems” study path, which are dedicated to provide knowledge and skills in the design and development of microwave equipment and units, high power oscillations generators, amplifiers and transmitters, radio communication equipment for data transmission. These questions are important for electronics equipment design, manufacturing, import, exploitation and state supervision enterprises: Terra, Selteka, Teltonika, Lithuania Radio and Television Center, Communications Regulatory Authority of the Republic of Lithuania and others.
