Objective
Learning competence 
Student knows the principles of thermal physics and acoustics. Student is able to determine relative humidity of air and condensation point. Student is familiar with the laws of pressure and buoyance. Student is able to evaluate his/her skills and is ready to apply his/her expertise in the subsequent construction physics studies.
Innovation competence
Students know how to evaluate their solutions and models critically, understanding that the physical models only represent an approximate description of real world phenomena.
