Course Contents

Theory topics
Mathematical background, Material point engineering, Introduction to oscillations, Solid state
mechanics, Heat and temperature.
Laboratory exercises aim to introduce students to the essence and correct practices of the
experimental process, finding and correcting measurement errors, processing the results and
deriving conclusions.

Educational Goals

Upon completing this course students should be able to approach a problem qualitatively, analyze
and interpret what is happening, plan the solution based on basic principles and mathematical tools,
verify the results and identify possible improvements.

General Skills

The course promotes the following skills:
