Projects

Employees at the Department of Polytechnics collaborate with various scientific-research and business institutions in the country and abroad, as well as in research covering the different areas:

• Studying and analysing methods in recognising and tracking objects using computer vision, especially objects in water. Developing methods for separating dynamic and static background in images.
• Studying properties of new technologies: superconductivity, supercapacitors, electrochemical flow capacitors, nanotechnology and their application in power engineering, especially renewable energy sources.
• Analysing transient electromagnetic responses from conducting wire structures. Optimising numerical terrain modelling and losses directly in the time domain with respect to time calculations and memory requirements.
• Fatigue strength: studying methods for estimating the lifetime of welded metal structures, with the focus on stress analysis. Detecting and assessing damage in composite structures by applying advanced mathematical algorithms.
• Curriculum for General technical education: the subject of research is the developmental tendencies of formal strategies in acquiring general technical competences. The emphasis is placed on theoretical and practical aspects of teaching, as well as international experience in general technical training.
• Analysing the possible uses of didactic aids in teaching as well as the development and use of didactic aids for different age groups with an emphasis on electrical engineering.
