Study programme aims and objectives

Electric power engineering and mechatronics is an engineering study programme, Show more...
dedicated to provide systematic approach towards fundamentals of natural, exact, social and economic disciplines. The content of the programme provides the competences to further learn the disciplines in the field of engineering, to continue the studies in Master’s programmes and/or start career in the industrial enterprises of electric power engineering and mechatronics. The study programme includes disciplines of electrical engineering and automation, and supporting disciplines, information technology and communication, product development, manufacturing and entrepreneurship.
In the field of electric power engineering, the aim is to provide student competences and skills related to production and utilization of electric energy (including power plants, electric power transmission, electrical installations and heat energy systems), and to provide proficiency in electric power distribution and high voltage engineering.
In the field of mechatronics, the aim is to provide student competences and skills related to mechatronic systems, robotics and manufacturing engineering (including machine elements, system dynamics and automatic control), and to provide proficiency in robotics, measurement and instrumentation.
In the field of electrical engineering, the aim is to provide student competences and skills related to electric circuit analysis, design of electronic apparatus, electric machines (electric motors and generators) and control of such units.

Learning outcomes of the study programme

Student who has completed the programme
1) can define the role Show more...
of the disciplines of electric power engineering and mechatronics for the society and economy; can define relations between human, environment and technology:
- can analyze the energy production, distribution and utilization choices, inevitability of such fields for the well-being and development of the modern society, the competitiveness of the industry; also sustainability and environmental considerations related to these fields;
- can analyze the options and limits for implementing automatic and robotic systems for industrial manufacturing procedures and other sectors of economy, also define the buildup of mechatronic systems and design the components included in such systems;
2) describes laws of physics related to energy, electric and mechanic engineering, can use such laws to establish models and concepts to describe the processes happening in the surrounding environment;
3) evaluates resources for the electric energy and mechatronic fields of application, including the required amount, cost and secondary effects;
4) has skills and comprehension in thermal, electric and machine engineering safe operation and safety engineering, but also in environmental safety; can assess various short and long term risk factors and formulate the methods and actions to prevent the risks;
5) has skills and know-how to effectively apply technologies and resources of the connected fields of specialty, including information and communication technology, is aware of capabilities and principles of such measures in context of a larger system, device and human being;
6) has abilities sufficient for independent professional acting in the field, including sense of risk, commitment of decision, responsibility for consequences of his/her professional outcome and ability to forecast the result of his/her professional actions; can identify and formulate the problems in the professional field, but also to analyze and evaluate possible solutions.
