Learning activities and teaching methods
Monological explanation (lecture, presentation,briefing), Task-based study method
  • Class attendance - 56 hours per semester
  • Home preparation for classes - 14 hours per semester
  • Preparation for credit - 10 hours per semester
  • Preparation for exam - 20 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
Derivation and application of basic equation of elasticity theory. Technical problems - torsion and bending. Formulation of boundary value problems. Introduction to variational methods. Basics of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics.
The subject provides basic orientation in selected parts of physics necessary for later specialized study - understanding the processes, quantities and equations.
Prerequisites
none

Assessment methods and criteria
Combined examination

To get a credit active participation on excercises and passing two tests during the semester is required. The exam is written composed of two parts, problem solutions and theoretical questions.
