What Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague does

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEL) at Czech Technical University in Prague (ČVUT) is a public university faculty operating within an institution founded in 1707. FEL delivers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs in electrical engineering, computer science, medical electronics, and bioinformatics to domestic and international students, primarily through on-campus instruction at the Dejvice campus in Prague (Technická 2, Prague 6), with additional locations at Resslova 307/9 and Jugoslávských partyzánů 1580/3. The faculty also runs lifelong learning programs for professional upskilling and participates in the cross-university prg.ai Minor for AI education.

FEL organizes teaching and research across more than 30 departments and research groups, including two flagship centers: the AI Center (Centrum umělé inteligence, AIC) under Prof. Michal Pěchouček, covering robotics, cybersecurity, game theory, planning, transportation, optimization, and machine learning; and SAMI (Signal Analysis, Modelling and Interpretation), focused on biomedical signal processing, speech, and machine learning for neurology, phoniatry, and speech therapy. Technical domains span digital signal processing, machine learning, robotics, AI for cybersecurity, quantum mechanical simulations (boron-doped graphene for SERS glucose detection), and biomedical instrumentation. FEL develops and releases open research software (nasality detection via 1/3-octave spectra, BACD Bayesian Autoregressive Changepoint Detection, and the Guyton72 circulatory dynamics model) and maintains proprietary datasets such as the Parkinson's disease early-biomarker and REM sleep behavior disorder speech corpora.

Funding is derived from four streams: public higher education subsidies via the Czech Ministry of Education formula, competitive research grants (Czech Science Foundation/GAČR, EU EXCELES/Next Generation EU, Michael J. Fox Foundation, and Czech health and education ministries), tuition and admission fees (950 Kč per application for domestic applicants), and commissioned research and corporate partnerships with firms such as Škoda Auto and university-hospital collaborators. The go-to-market is event-driven, centered on Open Days (Dny otevřených dveří), olympiads, dedicated corporate partnership programs, and multi-channel outreach through the fel.cvut.cz website, Facebook, Instagram, and Discord. FEL is ranked #1 in the Czech Republic for electrical engineering and informatics per QS World University Rankings and claims full graduate employability.
