Date of Decision: 2024-04-10
Effective: 2024-05-08
Main field: Technology
Depth of study relative to the degree requirements: First cycle, in-depth level of the course cannot be classified
Mandatory for: E1
Language of instruction: The course will be given in Swedish
The student should develop his understanding of basic concepts and ideas within both classical and modern physics needed in subsequent courses and necessary for a future role as an electrical engineer. Many of the concepts introduced are also of great importance for a deeper understanding of the world around us and as parts of the general scientific knowledge. The course should also train the student in scientific problem-solving techniques and in written presentations of experimental data and comparisons with physics models. Together with other courses in the program the student should expand and maintain his ability to use high-level programs (e.g. MatLab) as a tool for presenting and analyzing experimental data and physics models.
