Learning outcomes: Knowledge: Students know the basic methodology of physical measurements and description of relations between physical values (static and to some extent dynamic), know basic lows and principles of mechanic and thermodynamic, are familiar with mechanical and thermal parameters of materials used in industry and everyday life. Skills: Students can measure the mechanic and thermodynamic values, are able to apply known themselves physical lows to solve simple, practical problems and to analyze physical phenomena in the field of mechanic and thermodynamic, are capable of presenting the results of measurements and physical values relationships graphically and analytically.

Competences: Student understands the universal application of physicals principles. He demonstrates responsibility for the equipment entrusted and understands that its proper operation depends on his care and competences. He develops his abilities to state questions and problems and to express assessments of proposed solutions during work as a team.

Prerequisites: knowledge of basic mathematics and physics at the secondary school level

Course content: An introduction to the mathematical methods in physics (vector calculus, ideas of differential and integral calculus, rules of drawing the plots); selected problems of kinematics, principles of Newton dynamics and their application to analysis of simple systems, field description of interactions, statics and dynamics of fluids; equilibrium thermodynamics, essentials of statistical thermodynamics; description of phenomena at interphases; description of physical (mechanical and thermal) phenomena from the energetic point of view and use of principles of conservation, measurements of mechanical and thermal values;
