05.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 Ciesla (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.

CEES Computer 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.
