Abstract:
The Materials Science course aims at familiarizing the students with the main electrical materials. They study the
more important processes in dielectrics, semi-conductors, conductors and magnetic materials and explore their
main characteristics and parameters. The main characteristics and parameters of above mentioned materials are
examined.
Course prerequisites include Mathematics and Physics and the course in turn is a prerequisite for the courses in
Electrical Measurements, Electrical Engineering, Semiconductors, etc.
Course content:
Polarization of dielectrics in a constant and alternating electric field. Dielectric permittivity of some materials.
Electric conductivity of dielectrics. Dielectric losses. Breakdown voltage in dielectrics. Conductors. Main dielectric
and magnetic materials. Magnetic conductors. Active dielectrics. Semi-conducting materials. Influence of the
exploitation on the properties of semi-conductors. Semi-conducting chemical compounds.
Teaching and assessment:
The teaching is based on the use of classical pedagogic forms. Some topics are supported by multi media, audiovisual
materials and videos. The laboratory exercises follow the lecture topics and have practical orientation.
When exploring the properties of semi-conductors, computer modeling is utilized. At the exam the students work
on two questions, which help to estimate the degree of knowledge, after which an oral interview is conducted.

Abstract:
The foreign language module 1 is aimed at achieving communicative competence in the area of the subject
specialism and the future job. The teaching objectives comprise the development of reading comprehension skills
to handle specialist texts and the acquisition of communication skills to interact successfully in professional
settings and everyday situations.
Course content:
Meeting people. Talking about the present and the past. Plans. Describing objects and places. Comparing things.
Searching for information in catalogues. Linking facts and ideas. Applying for a job. The grammar material is
connected with the lexical topics and situations.
Teaching and assessment:
To acquire the necessary language proficiency and to develop skills in using the language as a means of
communication, a wide range of authentic and specially constructed texts ( i. e. articles, diagrams and tables,
brochures, catalogues, manuals etc.) as well as audio , video, and multimedia materials are used. Students are
offered lessons in computer laboratories, in which multimedia learning packages and on-line materials on the
Internet are used according to the modern trends in foreign language teaching. In class students participate in
role-plays, pair and group activities and they are encouraged to work on their own on their translation assignment.
Continuous assessment involves at least two written tests and oral testing as well.
