Education

As the requirements on education change, the composition of subjects, I teach, changes, too. The current composition looks subsequently:

Academic Year 2012/2013

• KEV/ES (Electrical Machines): In terms of the Electrical Machines course I lead a few exercise lessons, which supplement the stuff explained in lectures (theoretical exercises), especially calculations related to explained stuff. During practical exercises a few basic measurements on transformers and induction machines are shown.
• KEV/PSSE (Trends in Electrical Machines and Distribution Systems): The Trends in Electrical Machines and Distribution Systems is a course I inherited after professor Rybar, who dedicated the main part of this course to superconductivity, especially its practical usage in different technical branches. Thanks to incredible overview of professor Rybar this course very appropriately supplements education of each electrical engineer and in the same spirit I try hard to replenish this course with current knowledge, among others with knowledge about permanent magnets.
• KEV/SES2 (Design of Electrical Machines 2): I teach the course Design of Electrical Machines 2 collaterally with associated professor Cerveny, whereas I espouse the education of student with combined-form studies. This course supplements the course Design of Electrical Machines 1 in practical way and it deals with constructional layout of each type of electric machinery.
• KEV/TES2 (Theory of Electrical Machines 2): The Theory of Electrical Machines 2 is another inherited course, in this case after professor Bartos. The Theory of Electrical Machines 2 extends knowledge gained in the Theory of Electrical Machines 1 and currently I teach both lectures and exercises of this course. In terms of modernization of education the lectures have been moved to electronic form, which is available to the students through Courseware.
• KEV/VPES (Electrical Machines - Selected Parts): With associated professor Cerveny I also share the course Electrical Machines - Selected Parts, in this case assoc. prof. Cerveny leads the lectures of the subject, I teach the exercise lessons. During these lessons the problems of windings of electrical machines are dealt - DC windings (including equipotential connections), AC windings and, based on previous experience, the tooth windings used for permanent magnet machines have been included.

Formerly Taught Courses

• KEV/EMCH (Conversion of Electrical and Mechanical Energy): I taught the course Conversion of Electrical and Mechanical Energy for relatively short time, when professor Bartos lead this subject. Recently he left this course to Dr. Kindl, who completely took the heading of the subject and he leads both lectures and exercises. The main advantage of this concept is better contact of the teacher with students and better feedback from t
• KEV/OPA (Presentation of Technical Topics on English): I lead the Presentation of Technical Topics on English a few years after Mrs. Sykorova. With regard to changes which came in last winter semester I left it to Dr. Pechanek, who improved the contact of the student with English written text. Who will teach this course in next year is still in stars :-)
• KEV/PEZ (Design of Electrical Equipment): In the course Design of Electrical Equipment I have substituted Dr. Pechanek, who regularly teaches the exercises, for one year. The title of the subject "Design of Electrical Equipment" is a little bit misleading, since in terms of this subject mainly the design of electrical machinery is dealt and the exercises are fully dedicated to design of an induction machine with squirrel cage rotor winding. For me this subject was a very pleasant variegation, since I could use a lot of my personal experience with design of electrical machines.
• KEV/TES1 (Theory of Electrical Machines 1): I taught the exercises in terms of Theory of Electrical Machines 1 focused on measuring of electrical machinery till last year. As I mentioned above, the last semester was a little more complicated, hence it is possible, that I will teach these exercises in next winter semester again.
