Teaching is performed by using the contemporary didactic means and methods, interactively in the form of lectures, computer and laboratory practice. At lectures, theoretical content is presented and accompanied by examples and solution simulations for better understanding of the content matter. Computer practice is organized as complementary to the skills of graphic technologies, while laboratory practice is for practical application of the acquired knowledge on the available laboratory equipment. Apart from lectures and practice, consultations are held regularly.
