Course detail

Physics I

FSI-2FAcad. year: 2007/2008

Students will be acquainted with the elementary laws and theories of classical physics. They will be able to apply them when solving simple systems to explain and predict their behaviour. The acquired knowledge is necessary for understanding of theoretical fundamentals of modern engineering disciplines.

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.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Final classification reflects the result of continuous check in form of tests in the seminars, as well as final examination containing a test, solving of tasks and an oral part.

Aims

The goal of the course is to inform students about the fundamental laws and theories of classical and modern physics and to train them to apply the knowledge gained when solving simple problems, in particular problems related to Newton’s mechanics. At the final stage of their study, the students should be cognisant of how to integrate the ideas of physics and will be able to apply the basic principles to simple physical systems in order to explain and predict the behaviour of such systems.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance at seminars and labs which are stated in the timetable is checked by the teacher. Absence may be compensated for by the agreement with the teacher.

Recommended optional programme components
