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. 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 assessment of learning achievements exams, computer based testing, problem solving analysis, reports, presentations, lab reports, practice reports, project reports, peer evaluation, and more activities are used. For comprehensive and objective assessment of students’ achievement 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 35 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 (18 credits, 3 subjects)); Mathematics and Physical Sciences Subjects (30 credits, 5 subjects);
Core Field Subjects (108 credits, 18 subjects);
Optional Subjects: 6 credits;
Major Field Subjects (24 credits, 4 subjects; for Design and Manufacturing of Electronic Equipment specialization 4 of them are electives from main study field; for ITT and Medical Electronics specializations all 4 are selected);
Practice: (15 credits, 1 subject,). The usual practice is carried out in companies whose activities correspond to the selected specialization of the programme.
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, Applied Electrodynamics, Discrete-Time Signal Processing. These subjects are the base for core subjects and electives. The group of courses including Digital Devices, Microprocessors, Embedded 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. Signal Transmission and Reception subject provides knowledge about the transmission, reception and signal processing techniques in modern communication systems. 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.
For Information and Telecommunication Technology students are taught fundamentals of wireless communication, packet transmission technologies, mobile communication networks, optical communication networks, information security in telecommunication networks, systems programming or mixed network organization.
For Medical Electronics specialization, students study the basics of biophysics and human physiology, medical sensors, clinical engineering systems, monitoring systems technologies and medical electronic systems design.
Students are encouraged to choose the place of practice for themselves, providing access to as many electronics companies as possible and their activities.

1. Design and Manufacturing of Electronic Equipment;
2. Information and Telecommunication Technology;
3. Medical Electronics.
Optional courses:
For all specializations, there is an alternative set subjects Alternatives 2, from which student can choose one from three at his discretion: “Ergonomics”, “Sensors”, “Video systems”.
For Design and Manufacturing of Electronic Equipment specialization in order to allow students to acquire knowledge from specific areas of EE, two groups of modules called Electives 1, Electives 2 and Electives 3 are included in the 5th and 7th semesters respectively. Subjects of electives students can choose according to their interests, needs or expected future occupation. The subjects in group Electives 1 are: „Design of Printed Circuit Boards“, „Video and Audio Technologies“, „Information Security in Telecommunication“. The subjects in group Electives 3 are: „Navigation and Imaging Systems“, „Computer Communications and Internet of Things“.
