All teaching activities will be held in Croatian. However, foreign students in mixed groups will have the opportunity to attend additional office hours with the lecturer and teaching assistants in English to help master the course materials. Additionally, the lecturer will refer foreign students to the corresponding literature in English, as well as give them the possibility of taking the associated exams in English.

Description:
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.
