Programme learning outcomes
  1. In-depth knowledge and comprehension of complex concepts and phenomena in the field of electronics and telecommunications, methods and theories explaining the dependences between them, as well as main development trends in electronics and telecommunications; knowledge of the fundamentals of life cycle of electronic and telecommunication devices and systems.
  2. Ability to apply the knowledge to identify, formulate and solve non-typical problems related to electronics and telecommunications, to plan and to conduct adequate experiments, including measurements and numerical simulations also with the aid of self-developed methods and tools, to analyse and to interpret obtained results so as to draw conclusions.
  3. Ability to apply the engineering knowledge to design according to specific needs, and to critically analyse and to judge operation of electronic and telecommunication devices and systems, with consideration of non-technical factors; ability to formulate and to test hypotheses related to simple research problems in electronics and telecommunications.
Grading policies 1. LECTURE: form - final test and individual presentation of a scientific article; criteria - obtaining the appropriate number of points from the final test, individual presentation given in a transparent manner taking into account the motivation, methods, and results described in the article, the student can answer questions related to the presented article. 2. PROJECT: form - periodic group reports and a final report and presentation; criteria - correct preparation of all the reports from subsequent stages of teamwork in the laboratory, preparation of a final report, and a summary presentation by each project group.
Course content LECTURE: Origins and basics of flexible electronics; applications’ review. Types of materials used in flexible electronics. Types and properties of flexible substrates. Manufacturing technologies of flexible electronics components and systems (printing and coating techniques, thin-film deposition methods, roll-to-roll technology). Flexible photovoltaics (physical basis, materials used, overview of technologies and applications). Textronics (areas of application, challenges and limitations, technologies, smart textiles). PROJECT: The project section consists of a series of practice test exercises conducted in the Technological Laboratory of Flexible Electronics. The tasks illustrate layers' various deposition methods used in flexible electronics. Students become familiar with measuring methods to determine basic parameters of flexible electronic components, substrates, and active materials. In the final practical exercise, students will design and manufacture their own test flexible electronic element, device, or circuit. OTHERS: Preparation for the project realization in laboratory groups, additional consultations with the supervisor, literature/internet research, structuring the presentation, and speech preparation.
