Aims of the course Acquiring knowledge about the object of study energy as scientific discipline, character models and sources of energy, new technologies in the energy sector. The identification and understanding of the correlations between energy and physics.
Learning outcomes Students should recognize the significance and practical application of knowledge in physics to energetics; to define the object of study, the importance and the need to develop energetics as a scientific discipline; to perceive and understand the physical basis of production, conversion, accumulation and transmission of energy; to acquire knowledge of conventional and alternative energy sources, meet new energy technologies, recognize the link between energy and the environment.
