Tiedolliset oppimistulokset (ydinaines ja -osaaminen)

During completion of this course the student acquires basic knowledge of physical concepts, laws, principles and theories in the fields of kinematics, dynamics, properties of solids and fluids, thermal physics and electricity. Student becomes aware that physical theories are based on and verified by observations and measurements.

Taidolliset oppimistulokset (ydinaines ja -osaaminen)

During completion of this course the student will learn how to formulate and solve equations related to basic physical problems that appear in the fields of physics covered by this course. The knowledge gained helps the student in independent information acquisition in further studies and professional activities.
