Applied Natural Sciences

As a technical engineer you have to be able to provide a substantiated explanation for phenomena of a general physical nature. Think of questions such as: 

• Why do I not fall out of my seat in a roller coaster?
• Why are the leaves on trees green?
• Why does the sun turn red when it sets and why is the sky blue?
• Why do sea levels not rise when an iceberg melts?

The basic course Applied Natural Sciences helps you to explain these everyday phenomena.  You also learn to apply your knowledge in designing products or in analyzing the world around you. 

There are three variants of applied natural sciences from which you can choose from: 

• 3NCB0: focuses on concepts from wave theory and hydrodynamics; 
• 3NAB0; The importance of the difference concepts is shown through practical examples (expanding your knowledge) 
• 3NBB0; focuses on abstraction through a further elaboration on or deepining of concepts
