| Course abstract | |
| Study in lectures, laboratory work, and study independently. It constitutes an in-depth understanding of the conditions required for the existence of biological objects: water, heat, gas exchange and light, as well as basic laws of mechanics necessary for the understanding of wood processing processes. | |
| Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
| After completing the course students will have:
Knowledge of the relationships examined in the physics course and critical understanding of their feasibility to describe the processes in their specialty (2 quiz); Skills to perform physical measurements and to perform calculations in research in the sector, to compile and to describe the results in analytical terms (4 laboratory works, calculations thereof); Competence to evaluate the results of measurements and calculations, search for solutions to problems (crediting of 4 laboratory works) |
