Course details
Physics in Electrical Engineering
HFYZ FEKT HFYZ Acad. year 2020/2021 Winter semester 5 credits
The course presents physical foundations of electrical engineering, i.e. both electronic and power engineering. Students receive an overview of fundamentals of mechanics of a mass point and a rigid body, electromagnetic field theory, oscillations, waves and optics. The last lecture deals with the introduction into quantum mechanics so that the students get acquainted with the existence of quantum phenomena and the basic tools for their description.

Subject specific learning outcomes and competences
The students understand basic physical concepts, laws, and processes. They are able to solve simple problems concerning these laws and processes, and can realize simple physical experiments.
Learning objectives
The main objectives are: to provide the students with clear and logical presentation of the basic concepts and principles of physics, in particular those used in electrical engineering, and to strengthen an understanding of these concepts and principles through a broad range of interesting applications.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
The secondary school knowledge and pre-intermediate knowledge of English are required.

Progress assessment
A short test, evaluation of protocols submitted in laboratories and a written final exam.
Teaching methods and criteria
Teaching methods include lectures, seminars and practical laboratories. The course uses the support of an e-e-learning system, which is, however, used as a repository only. Students are required to write a homework (a single assignment) during the course. The evaluation includes the following components: 10 points - homework, 20 points - laboratories, 10 points - short test, 60 points - exam.
Controlled instruction
The extent of the evaluated education and the way in which the evaluation itself will be carried out are specified by a public regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year.
