Course objectives are acquiring theoretical and experimental knowledge in the basics of mechanics and physics of fluids, electricity and thermodynamics; development of operational knowledge from different methods of problem solving numerical assignments; adapting real problems to a specific physical model and defining relevant equations of the system.
Knowledge and understanding:
- to demonstrate the knowledge of basic laws of physics, which includes mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics;
Application of knowledge and understanding:
- to develop the approach which enables defining a model or recognise and apply an existing model to find a solution for a specific physical problem;
- to recognise an analogy of different situations and usage of known solutions to solve new problems;
Learning ability:
- independently use technical literature and other relevant sources of information.
