Course objectives
The aim of the course is to acquire comprehensive knowledge of the topic Mechanics at university level. Emphasis is placed on the logical structure of this scientific discipline and on the acquisition of knowledge and skills needed for teaching physics at elementary school. For these reasons, a greater number of simple experiments are included in the lecture and the relationship of the discussed material to practice, nature, household, technical applications is emphasized etc.).
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the Participant will be able to apply:
Knowledge: Comprehensive overview of knowledge on the subject of Mechanics with an emphasis on the relationship of the material discussed to practice, nature, household, technical applications, etc.
Skills: Be able to identify the principles of natural processes and technical applications. Perform a sufficient approximation based on basic physical laws and perform subsequent calculations of simple application examples. Know simple experiments and the relationship of the discussed material to practical applications. Be able to perform a qualified estimation of values.
Attitudes: Acquire the values of objectivity and the importance of scientific work.
