"Learning outcomes of the course unit:\nThe goal of the course is to provide an introduction to the exciting new field of astrobiology, including all of the major disciplines astrobiology is related to. Students will gain theoretical and practical knowledge, by successfully completing this subject, on the: astronomical and planetary context for the origin of life; concepts of pre-biological chemical evolution and the history of life on Earth; prospects for life elsewhere in the Universe, together with its scientific and philosophical issues; and the potential of humanity to expand beyond Earth. Course Contents:\nIntroduction to Astrobiology: latest news, history and direction of the research field. The origin and distribution of biologically important chemicals in the Universe. Initial conditions in the early Solar System and on Proto-Earth. Basic tools for terrestrial life - replication and metabolism. The origin of life on Earth - from abiogenesis to panspermia. History of life on Earth. Limits of the biosphere and extremophiles. Biosignatures and the requirements for life. Looking for life elsewhere in the Solar System. Exoplanets and habitable zones. Search for extraterrestrial intelligence in the Universe. Expansion of humanity into space." . . "Presential"@en . "FALSE" . . "Master in Space Engineering"@en . .

"The graduate of the second-degree study program Space Engineering will acquire a full university degree in the field of Electrical Engineering with a dominant focus on modern and multidisciplinary engineering technologies used mainly in high-performance cosmic and space systems, but also in other electronic system components. As part of the study and completion of profile subjects such as: Materials and construction of space systems, Sensors and actuators, Energy sources, Microsystem technology, Interaction of radiation and matter, Space devices, Space research methods, the graduate will acquire a wide range of knowledge and skills in areas that are an integral part of integrated technological systems for space applications. The graduates will be able to solve complex technical tasks and research issues under different individual projects. Students will also practice working in a project team, where they gain management skills and other soft skills. Thus, the graduates of Space Engineering study will obtain competitiveness not only in space applications but also in other research areas, industry fields, as well as social life. Key Learning Outcomes:\n\"The graduate will learn to design, optimize, and construct advanced embedded electronic systems, sensor systems, various types of microsystems, robotic and propulsion systems, as well as control, navigation, and communication systems, and will use information technology and artificial intelligence in their design.\nThe graduate has knowledge of astrophysics, astrodynamics, astrobiology as well as mechanics and thermo-kinetics of space systems and can apply skills in the use of modern engineering CAE tools, including modelling and simulation of electro-mechanical systems.\nThe graduate is prepared to solve theoretical and practical tasks in the development of complex systems, especially for space applications using modern engineering tools, technologies, and an interdisciplinary systems approach.\""@en . . .
