Language of instruction: English/French

Prerequisites:

English B1/B2

Basic competences in analysis of algorithms and linear algebra.

Programming experience, preferably in MATLAB/SIMULINK, and/or

C/C++/Delphi.

Course content:

This course will be divided for two parts concerning the area of Digital Signal

Processing and Image Processing and will provide students with theoretical and

practical aspects of the field. The signal for processing is mathematically modeled

as a function or a sequence of numbers that represent the state or behavior of a

physical system. The examples of the signals range from speech, audio, image and

video in multimedia systems, electrocardiograms in medical systems (ECG/EKG),

to electronic radar waveforms in military. Signal processing is concerned with the

representation, transformation, and manipulation of signals and the information

they contain. In this semester, we only study the fundamentals of discrete-time

signals and systems. The course content includes the concept and the classification

of discrete-time signal, representations of signals in time and frequency.

The second part of the course is devoted to fundamentals of Image processing

problems. The beginning of the course gives an overview of digital image

processing systems and digital image fundamentals. During this unit, important

elements of human visual perception are reviewed and the concepts of sampling

and quantization, are described. Moreover, the unit considers image transform

analysis, with a primary focus on Fourier-based techniques. The two-dimensional

Fourier transform analysis (Discrete Fourier Transform) and its properties are

described.

Learning outcomes: It is expected that after the course student will gain experience in applying signal

and image processing algorithms to real problems and implement and evaluate

algorithms using a digital computer. Moreover, the student will develop

algorithms for signal and image processing in spatial domain and transform

domains and will be prepared to read the current image processing literature.

Course content:

As since March 2011 (the first in Poland) until April 2017 UKW was NVIDIA

GPU Education Center, and as still the teaching activity of the university is

supported by the NVIDIA, the content of the course is partially based on the

NVIDIA company teaching materials.

The subject of the lecture are selected problems of parallel and distributed

computing with special emphasis on the GPU and CUDA C computing. During the

lecture the following details about CUDA C are explained: principal concepts of

CUDA C (what is host, device, kernel, block, grid, threat, warp); function

declarations; launching program in CUDA C; memory models and types in CUDA

(registers, shared memory, global memory, constant memory); data transfer (host

to host, host to device, device to host, device to device); performance analysis of

CUDA programs.

Students perform practical tasks for CUDA C programming. The tasks are

following: setting up IDE environment for CUDA C programming; launching the

first program in CUDA („Hello world”); testing principals of CUDA

language,launching kernel function; launching code for testing and explaining the

difference between CUDA kernel, host and device function (keywords: _global_,

_device_,_host_); launching code for testing data transfer and memory allocation

(cudaMalloc( ), cudaMemcpy( ), cudaFree( )) ; code for checking the GPU device

properties with the the use of cudaGetDeviceCount and cuda-

GetDeviceProperties; launching the code for vector adding with the use of blocks

for parallel computing;

launching the code for vector adding with the use of threats; launching the code for

scalar product of two vectors with the use of shared memory (_shared_).


120

Learning outcomes:

Students will learn how to program heterogeneous parallel computing systems and

achieve high performance of the computations.

Students will understand:

– how to apply parallel programming API, tools and techniques principles of

parallel algorithms

– GPU architecture features and constraints

Students will gain comprehensive knowledge in contemporary issues of the

parallel and distributed computations.

Prerequisites:

Rudiments of Physics.

Course content:

Phenomena preceding bainitic transformation in the range of swing back in

kinetics will be investigated using acoustic methods and microscope analyses. The

next step will be made to interpret a swing back phenomenon using kinetics

analyses. The method used in this order will provide a detailed analysis of the

overall kinetics, separately for each product of transformations that have separate

C-curves. The development of microstructure will be described using the classical

Johnson-Mehl-Avrami model as adopted by S.J. Jones and H.K.D.H. Bhadeshia

for simultaneous reactions.

Learning outcomes: The results of of the course will contribute to further and significant explaining

isothermal transformations, especially in the area of lower temperatures in the

vicinity of the Ms and to recognizing the effect of midrib on bainitic

transformation.

Introduction to Ethics

Lecture hours:

30

Study period:

(summer/winter)

Summer/winter

Number of credits:

5

Assessment methods:

Attendance, active participation, final exam


Prerequisites:

English B1/B2

Course content:

This course aims to give students an understanding of major issues in moral

philosophy. We will ask ethical questions that have gripped people through the ages,

and explore how they have been answered throughout the history of philosophy. We

will begin by examining certain problems that arise when we try to make moral

judgments, such as cultural relativism (“What’s right for us is not necessarily right

for them”), subjectivism (“What’s right for me is not necessarily right for you”), and

the role of religion in morality (e.g., “What’s right is just what God says is right”).

Second, we will consider several historically important and still-prominent

theoretical approaches to ethics (such as utilitarianism, consequential ethics,

situational ethics) that purport to provide systematic procedures for answering


http://stabikat.de/DB=1/SET=1/TTL=11/SHW?FRST=12



194

questions about right and wrong. In the third part of the course we will deal with

some issues of applied ethics such as famine relief, euthanasia, abortion, and genetic

engineering. Throughout, we will seek not so much to form final judgments about

specific moral issues, but rather to improve our thinking about the considerations

that may count as reasons for and against the moral judgments we make.

Learning outcomes: After completing the course the student is supposed to discern and discuss the moral

issues and dilemmas concerning individual (private) and collective (social) lives.

Furthermore, the student is supposed to develop skills in rigorous logical thinking,

deconstructing and reconstructing arguments, formulating original criticism, and

engaging in the dialectical process that moves any inquiry—especially philosophical

inquiry—forward.

the labour relationship and types of employment contracts

courts and special judicial bodies in Poland;

criminal law and procedure.

relevant areas and institutions of law, especially those which are relevant in

business practice. Furthermore, the student is supposed to get the overview of

main institutions of Polish legal system by contrasting them with their counterparts
