Characteristics of EEM study programme
The Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering and Management (EEM) study programme offers a unique combination of technical and economic knowledge. It places emphasis not only on theoretical foundations but also on practical perspectives in areas such as the generation and consumption of electrical energy, electromobility, and the design of electrical machines. By integrating engineering and economics, students gain a comprehensive understanding and the ability to effectively design and implement innovative technologies while also considering their economic impact.
Teaching in the EEM study programme is provided by four departments, each with its own specialisation. This can be illustrated with a simple example of electricity generation:
- From the Department of Electrotechnology, you will learn how a generator in a power plant is manufactured and from which materials, as well as how other components are produced, including cabling and power components.
- The Department of Electric Drives and Traction will explain how a generator works in principle, how it can be described using equations, and how its behaviour can be analysed in both steady-state and transient conditions.
- Within courses offered by the Department of Power Engineering, you will then understand the principles of a power plant as a whole, including the transmission and distribution of electrical energy from the power plant to your socket.
- Since electrical energy cannot be easily stored, the Department of Economics, Management and Humanities will clarify the specifics of the electricity market and trading.
Manufacture of electrical equipment
You will acquire skills in technologies such as 3D printing, printed circuit board production, and materials for power engineering.
Electric drives and power electronics
You will learn how different types of electrical machines operate and how electric drives are controlled for industry and transport. You will also find out how the conversion of electrical energy using power electronics works (not only) for drives.
Power Engineering
You will learn about the generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy, including modern trends such as renewable energy sources and intelligent networks (smart grids). You will also see electrical discharges in person – in a high-voltage laboratory.
Management and economics
You will gain an understanding of energy trading and the economic aspects of managing energy projects.
Learning style
Our students put their theoretical knowledge into practice! After the essential mathematical and physical foundations, we quickly move on to specialised subjects, where the emphasis is on hands-on learning. In laboratories, students assemble, test, programme and measure real equipment, giving them invaluable practical experience and preparation for the job market. With us, you will truly get a feel for amperes and volts – though not directly, as we also place great importance on safety.
Programme specialisations
The bachelor’s degree is divided into:
- Applied Electrical Engineering: You will gain knowledge in electrical engineering, electrical machines and drives, instrumentation, power engineering, and modern technologies for manufacturing electrical equipment.
- Electrical Engineering and Management: In addition to technical foundations, you will learn how to trade electrical energy, analyse the market, and understand the economic aspects of the energy sector and electrical engineering.
The master’s degree allows for specialisation according to the focus of the departments:
- Technological Systems: Knowledge and skills required for the design and manufacture of electrical equipment, including 3D printing, soldering, and printed circuit board production.
- Electric Drives: Specialisation in the control and application of electric drives and power converters.
- Power Engineering: Advanced preparation for working in energy systems, from generation to distribution of electrical energy.
- Energy and Electrical Engineering Management: Economic and managerial aspects of the energy industry, including project and investment management.
Links with industry and practice
In the EEM study programme, you will not only gain theoretical knowledge but also apply it in practice. The departments involved in teaching the EEM programme collaborate with leading companies such as ČEZ, Škoda Auto, PRE, Porsche Engineering, Siemens, Solartec, Rohde & Schwarz, ČEPS, and others. Graduates of our programme find a wide range of career opportunities not only in Czech industry but also on the international market. By choosing a specialisation, you will expand your technical knowledge with economics and management, as companies today need not only engineers but also professionals who understand business and leadership. This gives you the opportunity to gain the best of both worlds!
Career prospects of graduates
Thanks to their comprehensive education, graduates can find employment in a wide range of positions, such as developers, designers, design engineers, production engineers, or energy project managers. The programme prepares professionals who can excel in both technical and managerial roles, both in the Czech Republic and abroad. With an EEM degree, there is virtually no chance you won’t find a well-paid job that you enjoy!
Do you want to be part of innovation in electrical engineering and the energy sector? At EEM, you will have the opportunity to design solutions that power the world, collaborate with industry leaders, and take part in projects that are shaping the future. Join us and become one of those who shape the world of technology!
EEM… because nothing works without electricity!
What you will learn
- You will understand the physical principles of electrical engineering that underpin modern technologies. You will learn how electricity works at the level of basic components, circuits, and devices.
- You will find out how electrical machines, converters, and drives operate, and how electrical energy is generated and transmitted.
- You will become familiar with advanced technologies such as intelligent networks (smart grids), which regulate energy generation and consumption in real time.
- You will learn to address challenges related to electromobility and understand the impact of its development on the energy sector.
- You will gain an overview of the processes involved in managing the operation and generation of energy in power plants, from conventional to nuclear.
- You will combine engineering with economics – analysing issues such as pricing, energy trading, and emissions allowances.
