The subject knowledge on the secondary school level is required.
Student has to able to:
- explain general principles of the electric machines.
- compute in complex domain.
- apply differential equations of the electromechanical systems in time and Laplace domain.
- handle the software MATLAB SIMULINK on basic level
- prove that he is qualified to handle with electrical equipment according to defined rules.

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Students submit 4 protocols from laboratory exercises (4 * 4 points), 14 points for two tests during semester and 70 points for the final exam. The final exam consists of a test on the topic of laboratory tasks (10 points) and a computational part (60 points). Detailed conditions for successful completion of the course and also the time schedule of numerical, computer and laboratory exercises are set by the annually updated decree of the course guarantor. 

Detail requirements for completion of a course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year.
