| Course abstract |
| Course of physics is mastered within lectures, laboratory works and individual studies. Physics uses basic knowledge to explain processes and phenomena important in ensuring of environment of human life, as well as processing and storage of foodstuffs: stuff structure, heat exchange processes, basic principles of use of electrical energy, light and its influence on stuff. |
| 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. |
