Intended learning outcomes

General goals

The course should promote a natural science perspective and give an understanding of basic physics concepts and relationships and give a good basis for further studies within physics and technical subjects that are included in the 3- and 5-year engineering programmes.

After passing the course, the student should be able to:

  • Carry out, describe, analyse and present experiments to examine physical phenomena which are discussed in the course.
  • Apply basic physics models and concepts to identify, analyse and solve physics problems within the scope of the course content and report the solutions in a structured way.

Literature and preparations

Specific prerequisites

No information inserted

Literature

You can find information about course literature either in the course memo for the course offering or in the course room in Canvas.

Examination and completion

Grading scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

  • LAB1 - Laboratory work, 2.0 fup, grading scale: P, F
  • TENA - Written exam, 8.0 fup, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
  • TENB - Written exam, 8.0 fup, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Other requirements for final grade

During the course, approved oral and/or written presentations of selected assignments may be required

For final grade, it is required that all examination items are passed. Final grades are based on the total number of points from both written examinations.
