Course detail
Reliability and Maintenance of Technical Systems
FSI-XS1 Acad. year: 2024/2025 Summer semester
The course is focused on the latest knowledge of reliability and maintenance of technical systems. The student is acquainted with the terminology in reliability and maintenance, with standards and legislation in the field of reliability and also with management of reliability and maintenance. Teaching of the subject is complemented by an exercise where all the topics are properly practiced on examples from industrial practice. There is also a discussion of the results and conclusions in the exercises.

Entry knowledge
Knowledge of mathematics and physics at a level of university study. Also, the knowledge of the aforementioned special field in a scope of the previous bachelor study is expected.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
The course consists of exercises and lectures. Exercise is completed by credit (awarded in the 13th week). To obtain it is required 100% participation in exercises and activity in exercises. Students will work out the individual work in the prescribed range and quality. Based on the quality of the work in the exercise, the student earns up to 30 points for the exam The work must be submitted in writing and checked and recognized by the teacher. The test is realized by written test, student can get up to 70 points from this test, where 30 points from exercises. Evaluation of the test result is given by the ECTS grading scale.
The student attendance is checked in tutorials (presence and activity). The 100% participation in tutorials is required, and in case of absence, the student will be obliged to compensate, the alternative attendance will be specified by the lecturer.
Aims
Learning outcomes of the course unit The aim of the course is to gain theoretical and practical knowledge of reliability and maintenance of technical systems.
Students will acquire extensive and comprehensive knowledge of reliability and maintenance of technical systems, which will enable them to engage in industrial engineering and electrical engineering in solving problems related to the issue.
