Materials

Material constructed by teacher in ItsLearning.
Almost any Physics book for Engineers.

Teaching methods

Teacher-led classroom activities, problem based, independent studies, team work

Exam schedules

Final exam at week 17.
The re-exam could be done within the exam of next course.
Other complementary work to the course must be agreed with the teacher.

International connections

During the course, you will learn the basic skills of measuring physics and analyzing the results, which are the basis of the engineering work. Tasks include sectoral application examples. The course uses international physics notation and terminology, which enables students to understand international engineering literature, standards, etc. Students are encouraged to work in teamwork. The course uses a digital learning environment.

Student workload

Partification in classroom activities and exam: 30 h.
Independent study, preparing to the exercise, reporting and preparing to the final exam: 100 h.
