Adaptronics

Modern technologies are complex systems that include elements of different areas: electrical engineering, electronics, mechatronics, adaptive materials, adaptive elements and systems, their regulation, and computer control. This, in turn, requires professionals employed who have knowledge not only of their main field of specialisation and adjacent industries, but also of sectors that seem far and unrelated to the main field, such as medicine or biology. At the same time, skills and competencies are needed to interact with each other. In this context, students and future specialists need knowledge and skills in the interdisciplinary sectors. During the studies, the students get the basic knowledge of theoretical and practical principles of electrical technologies, knowledge in the design of electrical equipment and devices, automation and practical realization of automation systems. The studies provide the knowledge and skills necessary to start practical work and technician, as well as to continue studies at the higher level of academic or professional master studies.
