Objective

The aim of the course is to provide the student with knowledge for the implementation of electrification and automation of production facilities in small and large objects. The student becomes acquainted with the implementation options for electrification, power distribution, field instrumentation and automation in production plants and with the documents produced in the planning of implementations. The student is able to design and implement in practice a small process electrification and automation.
