Learning outcomes of the course unit

Understanding of novel physical, chemical, biological, optical, magnetic phenomena and material properties will bring an interdisciplinary approach to the science. CAE contributes to the simulation of the phenomena and more active contribution of individual work of each student to the eduacation process will be reached.

Prerequisites

The subject knowledge on the Bachelor´s degree level is requested.

Co-requisites
