Subject specific learning outcomes and competences
Secondary school physics matter.
Learning objectives
The repetition of the fundamental physical phenomena focusing on electricity and magnetism. This course helps students who had no or limited physics in previous secondary school education.
Why is the course taught
For an engineer, it is essential to be able to solve complex technical problems from different areas of technology. Necessary premise is creative analytical thinking.
Physics not only provides engineers with insights into the functioning of natural laws, but also teaches them how complex problems to analyze, describe and solve. If an engineer gets these skills, he will be successful throughout his professional career.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Secondary school mathematics and physics.
Study literature
- Student texts of secondary school physics.
- Student texts of secondary school physics. Halliday, David - Resnick, Robert - Walker, Jearl: Fundamentals of Physics
- Středoškolské učebnice fyziky.
