Prerequisites
Recommended, as written
Mentoring professor is required.
Contents
Industrial internship can be completed at power engineering plans within the country or abroad. Here belong power plant operators, network operators, producers and suppliers of the power engineering equipment as well as corresponding consulting firms. Enterprises and activities should be chosen with respect to the branches of study and aim at the consolidation of the knowledge obtained.
Learning outcomes
Industrial internship should complement the content of teaching and offer practical application of the theoretical knowledge obtained in the course of studies. It enables the autonomous implementation of the theoretical knowledge and methods acquired in the course of study. The students analyse company processes and the technologies used in a work environment with a predominantly researching, developing, planning or controlling activity character and further develop company processes and technologies with the methods they are familiar with. They are enabled to generate new potential applications or solutions to problems in the field of power engineering. To do this, they work either independently or in a team. At the same time, the internship provides an insight into the technical, economic and social interrelationships of an industrial company. As a result, the students can use the skills they have acquired during the internship in the preparation of their Master's thesis - if it is written afterwards - and in their future careers.
