To acquire basic knowledge in the field of applied electrical engineering, electromechanical energy conversion, electric machines and their application in traffic and means of transportation.

Students will be able to understand fundamental notions on time invariant and time varying electric currents with the aspects of application in electric machines. They will know the notions on electricity and electric properties of materials used for manufacturing active parts in electric machines. They will be able to understand the working process and calculations related to electric machines, as well as their practical application in traffic and in means of transportation.
