Academic year 2018/2019
Supervisor: Ing. Jakub Zlámal, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚFI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The goal of the the subject is to provide students an overview of construction of devices used in physics of surfaces and optics.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students will learn the function and design of the basic instruments and also the programs used in their design.
Prerequisites:
Design basics
Course contents:
Introduction to Design of Scientific Instruments and CADS gives a basic overview of instruments and mechanisms used in surface science and optics. Students are introduced in to the computer design of optical systems particularly.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Student designs optical system. A short report will be classified.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Final report is controlled.
