Teaching is held using contemporary didactic means and methods, interactively in the form of lectures, computer and laboratory practice. Theory is presented in lectures, followed by the examples and solution simulation for better understanding of the course content. Computer practice are organized in a manner as to supplement the graphic technology skills, and laboratory practice are used to practically apply the acquired knowledge using the available laboratory equipment. Apart from lectures and practice, tutorials are regularly held.
