    Short promotional description of the course
    Dit vak zal aankomende ingenieurs een conceptuele basis geven van enkele fundamentele begrippen in de
    natuurkunde, waarmee zij zich een 'gefundeerd' idee kunnen vormen over zowel wetenschappelijke als
    technologische ontwikkelingen op het gebied van de medische-/nano-/energietechnologie, klimaatcontrole, etc.
    Het belang van de concepten die behandeld zullen worden, zal verduidelijkt worden aan de hand van
    aansprekende demonstraties en voorbeelden waarbij bovenstaande technologieën van belang zijn

    Short promotional description of the course


    This course will give future engineers the conceptual basis of a few fundamental concepts of physics, with which
    they can form a “founded” idea of both scientific and technological developments in the fields of medical, nano and
    energy technology, climate control etc. The importance of the concepts that will be treated, will be cleared up using
    engaging demonstrations and examples in which the above named technologies are important.
