Course abstract
Course of physics consists of lectures, practical works, laboratory works and individual studies. Physics course gives an overview of fundamental laws that are essential to problem solving in engineering sciences and real-world process description.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
After completing the course students will have:
• knowledge about regularity of essential concepts of physics and critical understanding of how to use it in real-world process description;
• skills to use measurements of physical quantities and apply knowledge in calculation for their branch of research, summarize and analytically describe the results;
• competence to evaluate results of measurements and calculations, problem solving and understand what influence their professional activities have on environment.
