Forms of Teaching

Lectures

Lectrures are given with the use of powerpoint presentations published on the web pages. The lectures are organized through 2 cycles. The first cycle consists of 7 weeks of lectures and 1st midter. Second cycle has 6 weeks of lectures and final exam. The lectures are given in total of 13 weeks, four hours per week.

Exams

midterm exam, final exam and oral exam

Exercises

2 hours per week. The exercises follow the lectures with practical and numerical examples. The focus is on the implementation of the solution methods.

Laboratory Work

6 laboratory exercises

Experimental Exercises

demonstration of equipment for the power transmission and distribution (conductors, insulators and other equipment)

Consultations

Consultation term is determined on the first lecture in agreement with the students.
