Are you interested in what it is like to study at FEL? Come and see us in our chill-out zone on the 2nd floor! You will find a pleasant environment where you can have a snack, chat informally with us students and find out everything you are interested in studying. Plus, we've prepared a fun fill-in game for you - there's a reward for completing it and a chance to win cool prizes. Come and take a look and soak up the atmosphere of FEL!

 

Lectures

Do not miss this unique opportunity to listen to expert lectures on interesting and topical topics.

The lectures will be presented in Czech only. 

9:30-10:00- Plastics Separator (Ing. Jiří Kuthan) - We will present the electrostatic plastic separator project, followed by a student presentation in the faculty lobby. The presentation will also introduce the spin-off company nextcycle.

10:30-11:00 - Small modular reactors: the future of energy within reach (Ing. Tomáš Peltan) - What will the energy of the future look like? Big power plants are taking a back seat, and the world is looking for efficient, safe, and flexible solutions. Small modular reactors (SMRs) are revolutionizing nuclear power. Are small power plants better suited to the modern world, and what are the advantages and disadvantages? Come and learn about our TEPLATOR project - a unique modular reactor developed at FEL ZČU.

11:00-11:30 - AC or DC, or is the "war of currents" still going on? (Assoc. Ing. Miloslava Tesarova, Ph.D.) - At the end of the 19th century in America, the so-called "war of currents" between Edison and Tesla was fought over which electrical system - direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) - would become the standard in the transmission and distribution of electricity. The alternating current concept won out, which at the time appeared preferable for large-scale electricity distribution. But is the victory of alternating current definitive? Will we not return to the concept of DC transmission and distribution? What are the possibilities of using DC in future transmission and distribution networks? What are the pitfalls of developing DC networks?

11:30-12:00 - Formula Student (Petra Vinšová, Michal Drahokoupil) - Learn how the university-wide student formula team "UWB eRacing Team Pilsen" works, how difficult it is to build a formula according to international rules and prepare it for races. We will introduce you to everything that is designed and produced using the formula and explain how you can join the team. We will review the last season, which was the first with an electric drive, building on the success of the previous combustion formula.

12:30-13:00 - Wireless Power Transmission - Nikola Tesla's Dream Come True (Assoc. Ing. Vladimír Kindl, Ph.D.) - The lecture will take you through the history and present of wireless power transmission technology, which is becoming more and more widespread in many areas. You will learn what principles wireless power transmission works, what advantages and risks it entails, where it finds application, and where it can lead to further development.

 

Where: auditorium EP 110 

 

 

 

Student projects

What are our students working on? What are the conditions and support for this? How do they choose their topics, and how do they enjoy working on their projects?

Find out about this and much more in the Student Projects Exhibition! You have a unique chance to see what our students are working on and ask their creators anything that interests you. Our students will be available for your questions and will be happy to share their experience and enthusiasm for electrical engineering with you. We hope that our student projects will inspire you to study further and explore new possibilities!
