Goals and objectives
of the course in terms
of competences and skills 		The aim of the study course is to provide students with general knowledge of the design process, methodologies, standard procedures and design systems used in the design of computer systems and robotic systems. Tasks of the study course: - to provide knowledge about design methods and their applications; - to provide knowledge of the system life cycle and general characteristics of technical systems; - to provide skills for the application of different methods; - to provide knowledge and skills for obtaining and evaluating alternatives to a technical solution.
