Silesian University of Technology

The Silesian University of Technology has a history of 63 years. It has become an important public culture and opinion-forming institution, deeply rooted in the city of Gliwice and Upper Silesia region. It’s special function is an outcome of the fact that for many successive years our University served as a specific "knowledge deposit" , thanks to the creative work of its professors and other staff. We successfully utilize our human resources in research and education processes and make the results available for the public benefit and market advantage.The Silesian University of Technology is the biggest technical university in our region and one of the biggest in Poland, currently educating about 30 000 students on 12 Faculties in 48 engineering disciplines. We provide graduates of engineering who are ready to work as managers of Silesian industry and of enterprises far beyond our region. As an organization with big research and teaching potential we exert a stimulating impact on the growth of Silesia and Zaglebie and significantly contribute to the creation of the economy based on knowledge management.I have been involved with the Silesian University of Technology for many years and am fully aware of not only its renown and value but also, at the same time, of the challenges that we are facing. Nowadays it is only the knowledge of the citizens obtained in the process of education that empowers them and endows them with the capability of meeting the requirements of our modern world.The development of the economy and society drawn on knowledge must be based on a properly organized, modern system of education and training, within the framework of which innovation can flourish. The conditions for the growth of entrepreneurship and commercialization of research and development works have already been created and shall be continuously improved at our University. Thus, I sincerely believe that our University, due to the commitment of its academic environment, has become an innovative research and educational institution that will soon play an important role in the European Higher Education Framework.

Institute of Electronics

The Institute of Electronics is a part of the Faculty of Automatic Control, Electronics and Computer Science, one of the 12 faculties of the Silesian University of Technology, founded in 1945. The University is located in Gliwice and has about 32,000 students at present. The Faculty of Automatic Control was founded in 1964, and after a few reorganizations it changed its name to the Faculty of Automatic Control, Electronics and Computer Science. Since its creation in 1974 the Institute of Electronics has been involved in various research and teaching activities. The Institute has about 100 members of academic staff and consists of six divisions:
Division of Electronics Fundamentals
Division of Digital and Microprocessor Systems
Division of Circuit and Signal Theory
Division of Telecommunication
Division of Biomedical Electronics
Division of Microelectronics and Biotechnology
The Institute specializes in such advanced fields of engineering as analogue and digital electronic systems, including biomedical systems, production of telecommunication and electronic systems etc. Research in these areas ranges from component to system level, encompassing practical and theoretical investigations with the application of both hardware and software techniques. Research groups are supported by a wide range of test and instrumentation equipment together with computer facilities, which can run with programming languages of all levels and offer various application software. Many of the Institute’s research programs are carried out in close co-operation with industry in order to satisfy the needs of the region, which is the main industrial centre of Poland. The Institute offers two-stage five-year courses leading to the degree of MSc, which is obtained on the basis of a project and a report, presented during a final examination. After the first stage of study, lasting three and a half years, students can complete their education and leave the university with the BSc degree. Since 2007 two-stage courses in Biomedical Engineering are also run. The Institute participates also in a five-year MSc course in Automatic Control, Electronics and Computer Science, run by the Faculty, in which all teaching is in the English language. In 2007 this course was changed to the two-stage form. The courses normally consist of lectures, laboratories, seminars and projects, and are followed by examinations.
