Learning outcomes of the course unit

To obtain the elementary theoretical knowledges and practical skill and habits in these fields of physics: waves and acoustics, thermics, thermal conduction, electricity.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of mathematics and physics from bachelor study.

Co-requisites

Applied mathematics: vectors, derivatives, integrals, complex variable functions, differential equations, and integral equations.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations. Rules for Studies and Examinations. The method is based on a series of lectures (two two-lesson lectures per each week) and laboratory exercises (two-lesson measurement per two weeks). In addition, students have to solve a series of numerical problems. The solutions of these problems are checked by the teachers in the laboratory exercises.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Minimum requirements
The condition for the credit is measurement of four laboratory excercises and creating lab reports on-the-fly. Further, students must calculate ten examples given by the teacher. The last condition is a successful pass of the final test, which contains two examples and two theoretical questions with the topic of the laboratory measurement.
