Learning outcomes of the course unit
The knowledge of physics and physical chemistry in the area of gases and liquids. Energy transfer in physical processes of everyday life.
Prerequisites
The knowledge of the mathematics and physics in the range of the sub-degree courses.
Co-requisites
Applied Mathematics: vectors, derivatives, simple and double integral, homogeneous differential equations with constant coefficients.
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 each week). 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 student's condition for gaining a credit is measurement of nine laboratory exercises and creating lab reports on-the-fly. Further, students must calculate twenty examples given by the teacher. The last condition is a successful pass of the final test in the form of examples.
