Seminar of Physics

• 26 hrs exercises

The repetition and extending of the fundamental physical phenomena focusing on mechanics, electricity and magnetism. This course helps students who had no or limited physics in previous secondary school education.

• Completion of high school knowledges,
• improving analytical thinking,
• gaining the ability to analyze simple and complex physical and technical issues,
• understanding of physical laws and processes,
• understanding why things in nature work the way they do. 

For an engineer, it is essential to be able to solve complex technical problems from different areas of technology. The necessary premise is creative analytical thinking.

Physics not only provides engineers with insights into the functioning of natural laws, but also teaches them how to analyze, describe and solve complex problems. If an engineer gains and masters these skills, he/she will be successful throughout his/hers professional career.

The course is suitable for all IT specializations. However, especially for specializations in hardware, IoT, cyber physical systems, robotics, embedded systems, industrial IT systems, computer graphics and multimedia, virtual and augmented reality, computer vision, gaming industry, sound, speech and natural language processing, bioinformatics, intelligent systems, intelligent devices, mathematical methods in IT.
