This course discusses the fundamentals of applied physics, materials science and

processing engineering, quantum energy engineering. Topics to be analyzed       

include: magnetism, superconductivity, semiconductor, fundamentals and          

applications of metals and ceramics, applications of metals (steel structures,  

car bodies, etc.) and introduction to nuclear fusion and quantum energy         

utilization.
