Eligibility
General entry requirements for bachelor's level (first cycle)Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.
Specific entry requirements
The same as for the programme that owns the course.Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.
Course specific prerequisites
The course builds on knowledge from high school physics and the D-program courses in Linear algebra and Calculus.Aim
To present an overview of Physics aiming at introducing some physical models useful in engineering and helps to develop a deeper understanding of nature.Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
(Mechanics:)- be familiar with kinetics.
- apply Newtons laws to solve problems dealing with particles and rigid bodies.
- use the laws of thermodynamics to solve problems dealing with idealized thermodynamic processes.
- solve simple heat conduction problems.
- solve simple problems dealing with the propagation of travelling waves.
- solve problems that demand understanding of the phenomena interference and diffraction.
