Learning outcomes
|
The subject provides an introduction to the study at the Technical University; shows the importance and development of engineering, its structure and its relationship. Part of the subject is devoted to the development of soft skills of students of technical disciplines (effective learning, time planning, fight with procrastination). Approximately half of the subject deals with information sources - general information on how to orientate in information institutions, on provided services, how to search for relevant sources (both classical and electronic) how to process and cite such resources. Information on Intellectual Property Protection is also provided briefly.
Students will acquire a good overview of engineering, its history and complex connections between natural sciences and electrical and mechanical engineering. They will also see the broad context of social aspects of engineering.
