Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming)
  • Contact teaching - 39 hours per semester
  • Participation in classes - 39 hours per semester
  • Preparation for an exam - 30 hours per semester
  • Home preparation for classes - 12 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the properties, physical principles and requirements of materials used in electrical engineering.
After completing the course the student will gain knowledge about materials used in electrical engineering.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of high school physics

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination

The student must complete at least 80% of the laboratory exercises and submit the results to be able to get to final test (with the possibility of discussion of the test). Laboratory exercises can be completed in an alternative day (in single block form).
