International Conference on Engineering Education ICEE 2005,

1. Antoni Cieśla, Zbigniew Hanzelka, Jacek Nalepa, Tadeusz Orzechowski, Jan RusekMaster-degree specialization in Computer Engineering in Electrical Systems, carried in English at the AGH-UST International Conference on Engineering Education ICEE 2005, The Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Poland, July 25 - 29, 2005. http://icee2005.polsl.pl The AGH University of Science and Technology (AGH-UST), Krakow, Poland, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Automatics, Computer Science and Electronics (EAIE), launches the master-degree studies in the area of Electrical Engineering, carried entirely in the English language. For this end a new, as if inter-modular, specialization has been proposed, called Computer Engineering in Electrical Systems (CEES). The specialization is a new one, though very close to one of the specializations carried in the Polish language, within the "modulus C" of the unified, master-degree studies. The duration of the studies within the specialization is four semesters, whereby the fourth semester is devoted for preparation of the diploma work. The project starts in the autumn-to-winter semester of the academic year 2005-to-2006. The project has been successfully put into the whole acceptance procedures, both at the EAIE Faculty and AGH-UST senate levels. After gathering of all the indispensable acceptances, it was possible to arrange a meeting with potential candidates for the studies within the proposed specialization, to be carried in the English language. The meeting (held on February 25th, 2005) has gathered about 18 students. First they have been exposed to short presentation of objectives, courses and regulations. Thereafter the questions of the audience have been answered by prof. Antoni Cieśla (lecturer and pro-dean catering for Electrical Engineering), prof. Zbigniew Hanzelka (lecturer) and prof. Jan Rusek (lecturer). From the atmosphere of the one and half hour lasting meeting, it can justifiably be concluded that about 12 students will volunteer for the proposed specialization. Those involved in preparation of the project are deeply convinced, that the existence of a group with English as an exclusive language of lectures and tutorials will prepare the EAIE Faculty to meet the growing challenge of being able to propose studies not only for the Polish but also for the foreign candidates. At the same time, carrying lectures and tutorials in the English language will promote the knowledge of the technical vocabulary among the whole academic community of the AGH-UST. ______________________________ An article would present some details of the new venture, including objectives, methods and regulations, all prepared for the new specialization to be carried in the English language.

2. CEESComputer Engineering in Electrical Systems • Objectives and methods: • The student will be exposed to advanced knowledge of computer science within softwer and hardware, to the knowledge of modern methods of control, electrical circuits analysis and modelling, signal aquisition and processing, etc. • The student will also gain the knowledge about basic electric and electronic equipment (machines, drives, power electronics) as well as about technological processes such as thermal processes, generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy, control systems, etc. • Based on the above targets, the graduate of the CEES specuialization will be an engineer of broad knowledge of proctical informatics, which he will be able to apply to control the know-to-him objects, systems and electrical processes.
