The Laboratory of Physics, as part of the Institute of Mathematics and Physics, is one of the oldest laboratories at the Faculty and it was founded ever since its establishment back in 1960. The Laboratory continuously fosters educational, scientific and research activity in the field of Physics and its application.
Practical exercises in the Laboratory are performed for students at the faculty for the following subjects: Physics 1, Physics 2, Electrooptics, Physics of Computer Games, Introduction to Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology, as well as Physics for students of the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering.
The Laboratory of Physics is equipped with modern laboratory exercises, a number of which are being used in the practical curriculum for students at the first cycle of studies. Some of them are created independently by the members of the Laboratory, while the others are donated by the International Atomic Energy Agency – IAEA (2009-2011).
Simulation exercises that are being performed at the Laboratory, by using digital technologies, present the basic principles of Physics and its applications in different fields. For that purpose, the Laboratory of Physics, as a unique of this kind at the Faculty, has produced video tutorials for all laboratory exercises and has made them available to students at the e-learning portal.
The Laboratory represents one of the most important segments in the performance of teaching Physics, enabling students through practical work to become familiar with the basics of measurements, physical laws, logical analysis of results and modeling of problems. Students have the opportunity to be actively involved in the work in the Laboratory also outside of the teaching activities, for the preparation of theses, research projects and papers for student conferences.
