Basic goal of the „Infocommunication” subject is to present specific terms, procedures, problems and solutions used in telecommunications. The subject strives to give solid basis of the most important terms and procedures to support further studies of related orientations.
For all future electroengineers the subject provides basic knowledge for the forthcoming studies, whatever specialization is chosen by the student.
Both the lectures and the seminars aim to teach the students so that they not only understand but are able to apply the known methods, procedures, e.t.c., on their own. On the other hand, it is also important to point out the trends and innovations of the infocommunication technologies so that the students could be able understand them with a little individual effort.
