Engineering Physics (5 cr)

Evaluation scale

H-5

Content scheduling

The course contains some of the basic physics needed for ICT engineers. Every week contains two lessons. From 9.1. to 30.4.2023.
The course is divided into two themes. Theme 1: motion, forces and energy. Theme 2: electromagnetism (including theory of electricity).

A more detailed schedule and topics can be found in ITSLearning.

Objective

After completing the course the student can:
- use quantities and units in accordance with the SI system
- solve problems consist of motion
- make graphical presentations and analyze them
- draw free-body diagram
- solve problems involved forces using Newton´s laws
- apply work and conservation of energy to solve problems
- calculate electric and magnetic forces acting on particles and the wave motion of an electro-magnetic fields in engineer’s work
- describe measurement techniques of temperature

Content

- SI system of units
- kinematics, friction
- Newton´s laws with some applications
- work, power and energy
- electric and magnetic fields

Teaching methods

Two weekly lessons have different aims. First one is a basic lesson with teaching with some discussions and basic problem solving methods. The emphasis is on understanding the theory. Second one is a problem solving lesson which is divided into two sections. Working in small groups to solve a problem and then there is time reserved to do the homework. Help is provided by the teacher or peers if needed.
