Didactic methods
The course is carried out through theoretical lectures that serve to
present the concepts of differential and integral calculus for
real functions of a real variable. These lectures are supported by
solving of mathematical problems by lecturers with the goal of
having the students master the instruments and methods
introduced in lectures.
Under guidance and monitoring by academic tutors, other
mathematical problems, including the ones from pervious exam
terms, are solved as well. These activities are organized in a way
that the level of students’ preparedness to master the knowledge
and skills they need to acquire during the course is continuously
checked through the curriculum which includes homework and
partial exams.
Assessment
Student collects points during the course based on the following
system*):
 attendance at lectures and tutorials carries 10 points;
student who misses three or more lectures and/or tutorials
cannot collect points on this basis;
 homework carries maximum 10 points; students need to
prepare 3 to 5 homework assignments that are equally
distributed during semester;
 Partial exams: two partial exams, out of which each
carries maximum 20 points.
Partial exams (90 minutes long) carry tests comprised of multiple
choice answers, out of which only one is the correct one (student
who answers correctly to all the multiple choice tests achieves
maximum 10 points), as well as one open answer test (correct
answer to this test brings 10 points).
Students who passed both partial exams in a semester (achieved
10 or more points at each test) takes the final oral exam; this
exam is comprised of discussion on assignments from partial
exams, homework, and answers to simple questions which refer
to the topic of the course (definitions, formulations, and
presentation of simpler evidence of the most important traits
and/or theorems. Final oral exam is focused on integral matter of
the course stipulated by study programme. The goal of this exam
is to check whether students achieved adequate understanding of
concepts and practical matters presented during the course.
Final oral exam carries maximum 40 points. In order to achieve
passing grade, students have to achieve minimum 15 points at
this exam. Students who don’t achieve minimum number of
points will take oral part of makeup exam.
Students who fail both partial exams will take makeup exam.
Makeup exam is organized in the following way:
 written part, which is structured the same way as partial
written exam; within this exam students will take the tests
from partial exam in which they failed to achieve a
passing grade (10 or more points);
 oral part, which is structured the same way as oral part of
the final exam.
Students who achieved total score of 10 or more points in each of
the two partial exams after taking the written part of makeup
exam are eligible to take the oral part of makeup exam; the score
is comprised of points collected through passing of partial exams
and passing of written part of makeup exam.
Oral makeup test carries maximum 40 points. In order to get a
passing grade, students need to achieve minimum 15 points in
this exam and at the same time achieve minimum 55 points out of
possible 100 (including the points for attendance, homework, and
two partial exams passed). Students who do not achieve these
minimums have to retake the course.

Didactic methods
Lectures are presented directly in lecture-hall and are being
supported with typical problems solving (48 hrs) in such manner
for students to comprehend and adopt knowledge and skills
defined in module outcomes.
Throughout laboratory exercises (4 hrs), under guidance of tutor,
experiments are carried out in laboratory. Goal of laboratory
exercises is for students to practically verify (by forming some
simple DC circuits) some fundamental laws presented in lectures
(such as: Ohm’s law, I&II Kirchoff’s law, energy conservation
law, etc.).
Throughout tutorials (28 hrs), under guidance of tutor, typical
problems are solved (from topics treated in lectures), including
problems from previous exams. In this manner students will be
prepared for final exam.
Assessment
The contributions of all activities are rated according to the
following scale:
Activity Max. points to be awarded
Regular attendance 10
HW / LE 10
1st midterm exam 20
2nd midterm exam 20
Final exam 40
Regular attendance means that student must be present on all
forms of the module’s delivery. Student earns 10 x (Number of
presence hours) / 60 points for attendance.
By solving of homework and/or laboratory exercises (HW/LE),
student can earn up to 10 points. Homework is done in the form
of preparation and implementation of laboratory exercises under
the guidance of assistant (2x2 points) and two short tests (2x3
points).
Midterm exams: There are two midterm exams, and both are in
written form. At each midterm exam student can earn a
maximum of 20 points. Midterm exam is considered to be passed
by a student if he earned at least 10 points. First midterm exam is
in the 8th week, and second midterm exam is in the 16th week of
the semester. Students who failed first and/or second midterm
exam are allowed to go through the makeup exam at the end of
the semester. Duration of midterm and makeup exams is from 90
to 120 minutes. During midterm and makeup exams students
solve the problems that are of the same type as those solved
during the lectures and tutorials.
Final exam: At final exam, a student can earn a maximum of 40
points. Student will be allowed to take final exam if he/she meets
all of the following conditions:
 if student passes both midterm exams,
 if student earns at least 40 points through: regular
attendance, and homework/laboratory, and midterm
exams.
Final exam is considered to be passed if a student earns a
minimum of 15 points. Otherwise, student must take makeup
final exam (which is just as structured as the final exam.). Final
exam can be written or oral and most frequently is in oral form.
At final exam students get three questions related to course
topics.
Makeup exams and makeup final exam: Students who fail the
midterm exam(s) must take the makeup exam. Also, students
who fail to earn 40 points (through: regular attendance, and
homework/laboratory, and midterm exams), regardless of
whether they have passed the midterm exams or not, must take
makeup exam.
Students who failed final exam must take makeup final exam.
Also, students will be allowed to take makeup final exam if they
meet all of the following conditions:
 if student passes makeup exam,
 if student earns at least 40 points through: regular
attendance, and homework/laboratory, and midterm
exams.
Students who fail to earn at least 20 points (through: regular
attendance, and homework/laboratory, and midterm exams),
regardless of whether they have passed the midterm exams or
not, must retake this module next academic year. Also, students
who do not achieve a minimum of 15 points at makeup final
exam must retake this module next academic year.

Didactic methods
Lectures introduce fundamental concepts of computing and
programming. In this way students are introduced with different
components of the computer, different number systems and its
conversions and problem-solving strategies. Besides presentation
of the fundamental concepts in computing and programming,
lectures also consist of the presentations of appropriate examples
illustrating introduced concepts. Laboratory exercises and home
assignments include additional examples and problems closely
coordinated with the lectures. In this way, the laboratory
exercises and home assignments contributes to the development
of the student ability to understand basic concepts in computing
and programming, and ability to design and implement programs
in C programming language to solve simple computing problems.

Didactic methods
The main goal of lectures is to give exhaustive overview of all
topics covered by this module. Monologue, dialog and
demonstrative methods are being used here. After introducing the
terms, their mutual relationships, results and methods of
particular topic the lecturer solves carefully selected examples in
order to demonstrate previously theoretically lectured material.
During tutorials, under the tutor guidance, theoretical elements of
particular topic are being resumed and carefully selected
examples and problems are solved in details. During tutorials
students are able to use an opportunity for interactive discussion
about issues that are subject of the course. Besides that, small
number of students in groups for tutorials gives an insight of
student’s achievement during the course.
Students are obligated to attend lectures and tutorials. It is
expected that each student is properly prepared for all forms of
classes using teaching materials available to be downloaded from
the faculty courseware, and to actively participate during classes
and to maintain continuous independent study.

Didactic methods
Course material is presented in following ways: lectures and
tutorials.
Lectures performed in an aula for all students by the teacher.
During those lectures, fundamental theoretical and experimental
aspects of matter will be explained. In addition, numerical
problems will be solved. After completion of the presentation for
each logical unit rounded curriculum, teacher will formulate and
solve problems, and examples that allow students to understand
the tools and methodologies provided during lectures.
In tutorials, under the guidance of the teaching assistant, more
numerical problems and examples are solved in order to achieve
a better theoretical understanding of the presented topics.
Students are divided into small groups and can be prepared for
tutorial classes and present the planned tasks for such activity to
get extra points.
During the semester, students are obliged to do five homeworks.
In addition, students are expected to participate in lectures and
tutorials, as well as to work individually all the time.
Assessment
During the course, students earn points according to the
following system:
 Attendance to lectures and tutorials: 10 points. Student

Didactic methods
The course is carried out through theoretical lectures that serve to
present the concepts of differential and integral calculus for
real functions of a real variable. These lectures are supported by
solving of mathematical problems by lecturers with the goal of
having the students master the instruments and methods
introduced in lectures.
Under guidance and monitoring by academic tutors, other
mathematical problems, including the ones from pervious exam
terms, are solved as well. These activities are organized in a way
that the level of students’ preparedness to master the knowledge
and skills they need to acquire during the course is continuously
checked through the curriculum which includes homework and
partial exams.
Assessment
Student collects points during the course based on the following
system*):
 attendance at lectures and tutorials carries 10 points;
student who misses three or more lectures and/or tutorials
cannot collect points on this basis;
 homework carries maximum 10 points; students need to
prepare 3 to 5 homework assignments that are equally
distributed during semester;
 Partial exams: two partial exams, out of which each
carries maximum 20 points.
Partial exams (90 minutes long) carry tests comprised of multiple
choice answers, out of which only one is the correct one (student
who answers correctly to all the multiple choice tests achieves
maximum 10 points), as well as one open answer test (correct
answer to this test brings 10 points).
Students who passed both partial exams in a semester (achieved
10 or more points at each test) takes the final oral exam; this
exam is comprised of discussion on assignments from partial
exams, homework, and answers to simple questions which refer
to the topic of the course (definitions, formulations, and
presentation of simpler evidence of the most important traits
and/or theorems. Final oral exam is focused on integral matter of
the course stipulated by study programme. The goal of this exam
is to check whether students achieved adequate understanding of
concepts and practical matters presented during the course.
Final oral exam carries maximum 40 points. In order to achieve
passing grade, students have to achieve minimum 15 points at
this exam. Students who don’t achieve minimum number of
points will take oral part of makeup exam.
Students who fail both partial exams will take makeup exam.
Makeup exam is organized in the following way:
 written part, which is structured the same way as partial
written exam; within this exam students will take the tests
from partial exam in which they failed to achieve a
passing grade (10 or more points);
 oral part, which is structured the same way as oral part of
the final exam.
Students who achieved total score of 10 or more points in each of
the two partial exams after taking the written part of makeup
exam are eligible to take the oral part of makeup exam; the score
is comprised of points collected through passing of partial exams
and passing of written part of makeup exam.
Oral makeup test carries maximum 40 points. In order to get a
passing grade, students need to achieve minimum 15 points in
this exam and at the same time achieve minimum 55 points out of
possible 100 (including the points for attendance, homework, and
two partial exams passed). Students who do not achieve these
minimums have to retake the course.

exam consists of questions related to the theoretical content of
the course.
Students who collect more than 20 and less than 60 points during
semester have to take makeup exam. If they collected 20 or more
points on one of the partial exams they need to retake the partial
exam that they didn't pass. These makeup exams are similar to
the partial ones. If they failed on both partial exams they have to
take total makeup exam. This exam consists of four theoretical
questions and four problems. Exams cover subjects that are
discussed on lectures and tutorials. The exams tests analytical

Mechatronics is a new interdisciplinary field of engineering that
gradually distinguishing itself in a separate scientific discipline.
At the end of the module students become able to recognize it as
a synergetic combination of mechanical engineering, electrical
engineering, electronics and computer science with the aim to
create products that have emphasized integration of individual
components and technologies.
Mechatronics is often defined as a way of thinking or method for
which team work is essential. Therefore, one of the important
module outcomes is that students do become familiar with this
way of thinking and the new design approach.
At the same time, basic mechatronics is introduced as a simple
sum of all other core courses in physics, mechanical engineering,
electric engineering, electronics, optoelectronics, computer
engineering, mathematics, and many other fields.
The first lectures of the module provide a survey of historical
evolution of mechatronics. The survey describes that
mechatronics is everywhere today and, thus, in electrical power
engineering too. Therefore the content of the module is explained
using examples for mechatronic products in the area of electrical
power engineering.
Students learn that the first part of any mechatronic device is its
input system. Sensor-based feedback is crucial to the function of
mechatronic devices. Sensors detect signals (changes in
temperature, pressure, position, acceleration, vibration, etc.) and
transmit the data to microcontrollers that they can signalize
actuator(s) to make a change in the device's function.
These targeted learning outcomes and specified content of the
module are designed to provide the orientation of the students to
the mechatronic systems applied in the area of electrical power
engineering.

Didactic methods
Course material is presented in following ways:
Lectures performed in an aula for all students by the teacher.
During those lectures, fundamental theoretical aspects for
measurement of physical quantities will be explained. In
addition, numerical problems will be solved. In tutorials, under
the guidance of the teaching assistant, more numerical problems
and examples from previous exams are solved so that students
understand theoretical aspects better. Laboratory exercises are
designed to introduce students to practical measurements of
several physical quantities. Laboratory exercises will follow the
teacher’s lecture and their main goal is to give practical
knowledge to students. That way, students can combine
theoretical with practical knowledge. Students will gain
experience, which will help them to better understand the matter,
and by doing so they will be prepared for the process of scientific
research and engineering practice. Along the practical
measurements, laboratory exercises need to be numerically
prepared. As part of the exercises, students will have one or two
visits to industrial facilities. The goal of these visits is to show
the students the basic features of industrial measurement, how to
install the equipment, its use and maintenance.
During the semester, students are obliged to do one home
assignments. In addition, students are expected to participate in
lectures and tutorials, as well as to work individually all the time.
Exams
During the course, students earn points according to the
following system:
 Attendance to lectures and tutorials: 10 points. Student with more
than three absences during semester will not get there points.
 Laboratory exercises and home assignments – maximum of 10
points. Students will have two home assignments, each worth 1,5
points. Students will earn 7 points on laboratory exercises.
 Two written exams, midterm and final, each written exam with a
maximum of 20 points.
Written exam is structured on the following way:
 Simple questions designed to test student’s fundamental
theoretical knowledge – maximum of 5 points.
 Solving two numerical problems that require complete solving
procedure – maximum of 10 points.
 Solving two to three simple numerical problems, with multiple-
choice answers given – maximum 5 points.
Student who earns 40 points or more will take a final oral exam.
Also, students that have 10% less points can take a final oral
exam, depending on teacher’s and assistant’s opinion. Final oral
exam consists of discussion of exam problems, home assignment
discussion and answering the simple theoretical questions.
Students can earn a maximum of 40 points for this exam. In order
to get a positive grade, student must earn at least 15 points on the
final exam.
Student who fails to pass one or both written exams will have to
take a makeup exam, for the part that he failed. Makeup exam
has the same structure as the written exam. Makeup final oral
exam has a same structure as the final oral exam.
Student who earns less than 20 points must retake the course.

focus on the core material in the course. Generic features and
functions of various types of major equipment and apparatus
required in a typical power system network are explained.
This is further illustrated with practical examples.
Mathematical tools and computer-aided analysis are then used to
attain a qualitative understanding of critical issues affecting the
operation of power system equipment.
This in turn leads students to an appreciation of the equipment
ratings, choice of particular insulation materials and designs.
The basic principles covering the high-voltage testing and
condition monitoring of equipment are presented and then
illustrated by considering a wide array of diagnostic devices that
are currently being used in the power industry.
Some problems will be worked through during the lectures. That
take the students through all critical course topics and aim to
exercise their analytical and critical thinking skills.
The students are expected to down-load the lecture notes (from
