Basic physics and methods for the following: 1) Kinetics and 2) dynamics of one and two-dimensional motion of mass points (with circular motions and vibrations, incl. resonance) 3) Conservation principles and balancing.
1) The students know the definitions of basic quantities and concepts in the areas listed below and understand how these are motivated. They can distinguish between definitions and fundamental physical relationships (natural laws).
2) The students understand and recognize the relations between the concepts developed in 1) in different forms and can identify them. The forms include dynamic relationships, conservation laws, and geometric concepts.
3) The students understand the concept of analogy in physics and can exemplify it. They know the structures of conservation laws and can identify these structures in concrete physics examples.
4) The students can apply the knowledge and skills from 1) to 3) qualitatively and quantitatively to natural and technical phenomena. The students are able to decide, based on the particular problem statement, which methods are suitable for the analysis. (e.g. they can distinguish dynamic problems from the analysis of states).
5) The students understand the significance of an experiment and can evaluate it. They recognize possible disturbing effects and are able to reduce them or to consider them. They can handle data-acquisition and data-analysis tools and are able to document their activities and to interpret the results. They are able to organize themselves in a team, to communicate and to take responsibility.

6) The students understand the importance of modeling and are able to identify the application range of a model. They are able to set up their own models with analytical procedures and simulations and to implement them in suitable simulation tools.

7) The students know methods for evaluating the model results and can apply these to their models. These include limit-case considerations, plausibility assessments, back-of-the-envelope calculations and the comparison with experience from technology and everyday life.
