prerequisite
Knowledge
enumerate and describe the basic physical quantities of mechanics, thermodynamics, oscillations, and waves formulate the most important relations of mechanics, thermodynamics, oscillations, and waves define the basic mathematical functions, differentials, derivations, and integrals describe the solution procedures of linear and quadratic equations, linear differential equations, and integrals
Skills
use the basic physical relations for the solution of simple problems in mechanics, thermodynamics, oscillations, and waves solve the basic mathematical equations (linear, quadratic) and integrals rearrange the mathematical relations with goniometric functions, derivations, and vectors measure the basic physical quantities of mechanics and thermodynamics use computer equipment for the measurement evaluation of physical quantities

Knowledge
enumerate the basic physical quantities of acoustics, electricity, magnetism, electromagnetic waves, and heat transfer formulate the basic physical laws in these domains and the conditions of their validity describe the basic consequences of the physical laws in these domains characterize the measurement methods of selected physical quantities of acoustics, electricity, magnetism, electromagnetic waves, and heat transfer
Skills
interpret the physical quantities and laws of acoustics, electricity, magnetism, electromagnetic waves, and heat transfer in different real conditions adapt the physical laws from these domains into different mathematical formulations and derive consequences from them use the knowledge of physical quantities and laws for the solutions of the selected theoretical problems measure the selected basic physical quantities and rules of electricity, magnetism, and electromagnetic waves evaluate the results of measurements with the standard statistical methods in the form of graphical and tabular outcomes summarize and evaluate measurements and their results in the form of accurate laboratory reports
