Learning activities and teaching methods
Monological explanation (lecture, presentation,briefing), Self-study (text study, reading, problematic tasks, practical tasks, experiments, research, written assignments), Written assignment presentation and defence, Laboratory work
  • Preparation for credit - 20 hours per semester
  • Class attendance - 40 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
Subject approaching students nature of magnetism behavior in substances in the magnetic field focusing on the ferromagnetic substance. The aim is to understand the nature, design methods and presentation of the basic technical applications magnetically soft and hard materials.
Students get an overview on the properties, design and engineering applications of magnetic materials. Students will understand the physical nature of phenomena and learn about the methods of computer modeling of hysteresis and magnetic system design.
Prerequisites
We assume knowledge of electrical engineering

Assessment methods and criteria
Combined examination, Presentation of student research activity

Credit: Participation on seminars, individual project elaboration and defense. Sharing of project parts is flagrant violation of study rules.
