3153 Economics
ЕCTS credits: 3
Weekly classes: 2lec+1sem+0labs+0ps+p
Assessment: continuous assessment
Type of exam: written
Department involved:
Department of Economics
Faculty of Business and Management
Lecturers:
Assoc. Prof. Emil Georgiev Trifonov, MEcon, PhD, Dept. of Economics, tel.: 888 557
Abstract:
The Economics course considers the fundamentals and problems of modern market economy. In this way it
creates a basis for all the other economic courses, as well as general knowledge of economics, which is
expressed in forming an alternative way of economic thinking and capabilities for making an independent choice in
a market environment.
Course content:
Introduction – fundamentals of the economic theory. Main problems for every economy. Market mechanism. Public
sector and tax system. Supply and demand on the individual markets. Consumer behaviour. Production, expenses
and income of a firm. Imperfect competition and offering. Price-forming of manufacturing factors. Gross domestic
product (GDP) and economic growth. Economic cycle, unemployment and inflation. Macroeconomic equilibrium.
Fiscal policy. Budget policy. Macroeconomic policy in an open economy.
Teaching and assessment:
The teaching is organised on the basis of lectures and exercises, which further deepen some of the questions
discussed at the lectures. The participation of students in the seminars is accomplished by oral reports and
essays, prepared by the students as their own choice or assigned as tasks by the lecturer.
Assessment is continuous. Its components are two tests and student participation in classes. At the end of the
semester the final mark is formed as an average of the three.
3195 Electromechanical Devices
ECTS credits: 7
Weekly classes: 3lec+0sem+0labs+3ps+ca
Assessment: exam
Type of exam: written and oral
Departments involved:
Department of Automatics and Mechatronics
Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Automation
Lecturers:
Assoc. Prof. Venelin Iliev Yakov, MEng, PhD, Dept of Automatics and Mechatronics,
tel.: 888 269.
Abstract:
Main constructive elements in modern equipment in the field of automatics, electronics, computing and
communication engineering are the different kinds of electrical machines, transformers, operation apparatuses,
safeguards, signalling, etc. The subject has the objective to acquaint the students with the operational principles,
the structure, the application and the characteristics of the above mentioned devices which is a prerequisite for a
succesful career as future specialists.
Course content:
General information about the production and transmission of electric power. Electrical apparatuses, low
operational voltage, safeguarding and signalling with non-automatic and automatic operation. Transformers -
structure, main dependences, operation regimes, characteristics, kinds. Electrical machines for direct and
alternating current - main principles, kinds, operation regimes, characteristics, application fields.
Teaching and assessment:
The process of teaching includes teacher-centred and learner-centred methods. The teacher-centred activities
include lectures and laboratory exercises. The lectures are accompanied with a lot of visual aids, patterns, models,
slides, etc. The laboratory exercises concern the main topics. The main characteristics of the researched devices
are measured experimentally.
The subject has continuous assessment which is determined on the basis of the written test done at the end of the
semester and the results from the continuous assessment from the laboratory exercises during the semester.
