Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Automatic Control and Informatics came into being in 

1966, when - due to social initiative - Higher School of Engineering in Opole was established 

on 1st June. In 2006 the name of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Automatic 

Control was amended to the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Automatic Control and 

Computer Science. The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Automatic Control and Computer 

Science seeks to provide an optimum environment for research and scholarly efforts of 

academic staff members and students in the fields of electrical, electronic, control and 

computer engineering. The Department offers a wide range of undergraduate and 

postgraduate study opportunities, both full- and part-time, which lead to the degrees of 

BSc, MSc and PhD. The BSc and MSc require satisfactory completion of examined lecture 

courses as well as preparation and oral defense of a dissertation. The BSc and MSc can be 

conferred in the fields of electrical engineering, computer engineering, control and 

robotics, electronics and telecommunication and technical science education. The PhD is a 

research degree, can be granted in the field of electrical engineering or control and 

robotics, on a basis of oral defense of a doctoral dissertation. Lectures are basically given in 

Polish, but a bilingual, Polish-German BSc/MSc programme has also been conducted and it 

is still offered in computer engineering.

This course examines the three heat transfer mechanisms - conduction, convection and electromagnetic 

radiation. Solutions are obtained for one dimensional steady heat conduction through composite, plain and 

tubular walls, including with internal heat generation. The Reynolds' analogy is introduced to link forced 

convective heat transfer with momentum transfer in laminar and turbulent boundary layers. Free 

convection, in which heat transfer itself induces its own buoyant flow is then considered. The radiative 

emission characteristics of black and grey bodies are examined and radiative heat transfer between such 

bodies is analysed. The objective of this course is to introduce, through a combination of theory, exercise 

and laboratory practice, the basic heat transfer processes. Acquire knowledge about basics of heat transfer 

including principles and calculations of heat transfer processes constituting background for analysis of heat 

exchangers, thermal equipment and systems. A theoretical discussion of selected processes of heat transfer 

will be followed by laboratory experiments. 


� Fundamentals of heat transfer processes 

� Introduction to conduction (one - and two - dimensional, steady state conduction, transient conduction) 

� Fluid dynamics and convection 

� Forced convection (external flow, internal flow) 

� Free convection 

� Radiation (processes and properties, exchange between surfaces) 

� Construction and work of heat exchangers 

� Examples of heat transfer processes studied in the laboratory include: convective heat transfer, heat transfer 

in pipes with ribs, heat transfer in boiled mixtures and heat transfer in pipes with metal foam 

� Heat transfer—general applications (fluidized beds, food processing, nuclear reactors, manufacturing and 

processing)

Advanced knowledge of mathematics 


The primary objective is the demonstration and understanding of the fundamental concepts and processes 

associated with the hydraulic and water quality design, operation and performance aspects of agriculture 

and urban drainage systems. Modelling tools will be used to support the design of urban drainage systems 

(incl. pumping stations, overflows, and other flow regulating structures). The tools will also be used to 

develop understanding in current pollution problems, and to identify mitigation/rehabilitation measures. In 

this way, the students will gain a sound understanding of the modelling tools, which can be used to aid 

decision-making in pollution management, and will get experience in the use of modelling tools through 

applications within the Integrated Project case studies.

The Faculty of Economics and Management currently offers a broad range of studies on 

both Bachelor and Master degrees. 

The majority of the academic staff participates in research projects which are mostly 

conducted under statutory research programmes as well as the Faculty's own programmes. 

The Faculty's main research activities are concentrated on: sustainable socio-economic and 

ecological growth in regional development, system transformation influence on 

demographic situation and education of human capital in the Silesia region, conditions of 

balanced regional development in Poland following European Union accession (particularly 

external migration processes and Opole region), mathematic aid in regional development 

programming, the role of work resources in the formation of Silesia region competitiveness, 

seasonal migrations from the Silesia region to the European Union countries (diagnosis and 

forecast), selected problems of European Union law, particularly Common Foreign Policy 

and European Union security, marketing and logistics integration – premises, determinants, 

symptoms and effects. 

In addition to research conducted under statutory research programmes and as the 

Faculty's own programmes, the Faculty staff takes part in research projects within 

European Union Programmes mostly in cooperation with governmental organizations and 

industrial enterprises. The Faculty has a Development Projects Office whose main task is to 

administer the development projects realized by the Faculty and assistance in acquiring 

new projects. Faculty staff members are members of various scientific and technical 

organizations and associations.

Faculty of Production Engineering and Logistics was created on the basis of the Institute of 

Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. The Institute was founded in 1975 as an interfaculty 

unit whose objective was to conduct research as well as didactic classes of mathematics, 

physics and chemistry in all fields and courses of studies (first at Higher School of 

Engineering, afterwards at Opole University of Technology). Currently the faculty has been 

performing above mentioned tasks, though it has broadened its didactic offer effectively. 

Faculty research and didactic employees conduct classes of not only basic subjects like 

mathematics, algebra with geometry, mathematical analysis, physics and chemistry but also 

of numerical methods, mathematical statistics, calculus of probability, operational research, 

computer science, selected programming languages, databases, logistics, computer 

networks and philosophy of nature. Furthermore, didactic offer has been significantly 

enriched since the creation of the Institute by extending the scope of subjects connected 

with work environment engineering, logistics and production engineering as well as 

subjects concerning teaching technology and computer science at schools and selected 

technical subjects.
