International connections
In the course, basic physics skills are studied, which are the basis of engineering work. The examples and tasks contain application examples related to the field of study. The course uses international physics notation and terminology, which gives students the skills to understand international engineering literature, standards, etc. When solving assignments, students are encouraged to work in a team. In the course an electrical learning environment is used.
Completion alternatives
If the student wants to complete the course with a test without homework, it must be agreed separately with the teacher.
Student workload
Contact lessons and exams 52 h
Independent study, homework and preparation for part-exams 75 h
