Forms of Teaching
Course teaching is organized through two teaching cycles. The first cycle consists of 7 weeks of direct instruction and an intermediate exam. The second cycle of classes includes 6 weeks of direct classes and a final exam. classes are conducted over a total of 15 weeks with a weekly workload of 2 hours.
Seminars and workshopsSeminar paper on measurement results in laboratory exercises.
ExercisesThrough auditory exercises (7 in the first cycle and 6 in the second cycle), energy efficiency calculations of energy system components in industry and buildings are performed.
Independent assignmentsCalculation of energy efficiency of a selected component of the energy system in industry.
LaboratoryLaboratory exercises are held in a total of 6 terms of 2 hours. In the first cycle of classes, 3 laboratory exercises are held, and in the second cycle, 3 laboratory exercises. Laboratory exercises last 2 hours. The first laboratory exercise consists of introductions to measurement and instruments. All other laboratory exercises consist of one hour of theoretical preparation and calculation of tasks and one hour of practical measurement.
