Entry knowledge

Knowledge of fundamentals and integrating ideas of optics and engineering gained by students in the courses of the study of the Precise Mechanics and Optics study program.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Active participation in seminar discussions and presenting an essay.
Attendance at seminars is obligatory.

Aims

The learning objective of the module is to reinforce students' knowledge of the fundamentals of optics and fine mechanics, train the presentation skills and popularisation of selected topics.
At the final stage of their study, the students should be conscious of ideas of optics and fine mechanics and relations of their various disciplines and be capable of describing the basic principles of the optical phenomenons, optomechanical systems, and their principles.
