Aims

Professional knowledge
  • The graduate understands basic physical concepts and principles, including mechanics, kinematics and dynamics of a mass point, mechanics of a rigid body, hydromechanics, mechanical oscillations and waves, with an emphasis on applications in the construction industry. 
Professional skills
  • The student will learn to apply physical laws to solve specific problems and interpret the results of experiments. He/she will be able to work with laboratory equipment, make precise measurements and analyze data, including the interpretation of results.
General competence
  • The graduate will be able to independently solve interdisciplinary tasks, effectively communicate technical information and cooperate in a team. He/she will have the ability to connect physical theories with their practical application in various fields. He/she has the ability for lifelong learning and adaptation to new technological and scientific knowledge.
