Engineering Physics 2 (5 cr)

Objectives (course unit)

Student familiarizes in physical phenomena in everyday life and in society. Students see physics as part of their engineering competence.

Content (course unit)

In addition to lectures student perform modelling and measurement exercises in small groups. When possible, computer software (for example MATLAB or Excel) will be used in solving the problems. Contents will be selected according to interests of participating students. For example, the topics can be:
- Deeper examination in a topic from Engineering Physics 1 course
- Weather phenomena and climate change
- Acoustics
- Energy effiency and energy production and storage
- Physics of flying
- Physics of human body
- Modern physics
- Relativity
