Educational objectives

Educational objectives
Basics in linear algebra and geometry. Linear systems and their geometrical interpretation for 2 or 3 unknowns.
Familiarity with rigorous reasoning, with numerical and symbolic calculus, with the analysis of problems using an optimal strategy.
Familiarity with vectors and matrices, and with geometrical entities in 2 or 3 dimensions in
connection with equations of degree 1 or 2.
Understanding of linear applications and, in particular, of diagonalization.
Expected learning outcomes:
I expect constant learning as the course goes on; learning will be increased by tutorials and tests.
Little difficulties can be solved also by an email contact.
Although the beginning may be difficult, mostly due to faults in the mathematical background, after the first impact - in several cases after the first or second written examination - one expects a neat improvement.

Educational objectives

The course aims at providing knowledge of the most important notions of
the real analysis in multidimensional spaces. Concepts of limit,
continuity, derivative, differential and integral are extended to
multidimensional spaces. An introduction is given to the fundamental
concepts of sequence and series of functions. The basic request of the
class lies in the practical use of these mathematical tools, besides a
deep understanding of the theoretical background. Finally, a short
description of the quasi-linear partial differential equations is
given, with particular regard to the classification and to the main
properties of elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic systems.It is required the ability to perform basic operations such as limits,
partial derivatives, differentials and integrals in multidimensional
real spaces. All these tools have to be used in a critical and
constructive way. At the same time, a deep knowledge of the theoretical
background is also required. The present class aim at encouraging the
approach towards new mathematical problems as well as to reach a
satisfactory capability in the practical use of the Mathematical
Analysis in the Engineering Sciences.

Educational objectives

The main objective of the course is to present the principles of General

electron transfer and their balance. Notes of electrochemistry.EXPECTED RESULTS: Mastery of the basic concepts of Chemistry and their application.

Educational objectives

The course will introduce the student to the scientific method. Concepts
and formalism of the classical mechanics and thermodynamics will be
developed. The aim of the course is to allow the student to became
familiar with the basic models of the classical physics and in
particular with the concept of physical observable and with the role of
Physics Laws.At the end of the course the student should be able to apply the
concepts acquired to the solution of simple problems of mechanics and
thermodynamics.

Educational objectives

Give students the essential linguistic competences needed to deal with written scientific communication.

Educational objectives

To supply the fundamental principles of classic electromagnetism and of
wave phenomena in vacuum and in matter, stressing the experimental
character of the subjects. To teach how to solve by reasoning simple
problems on the above subjects.The student must understand the phenomena related with classic
electromagnetism and with wave propagation. He must realize which
physics lows are obtained from experiments and which from mathematical
deduction. He must also learn how to apply the subjects studied to the
solution of simple problems.

Educational objectives

The aim is that of providing students with some fundamental probabilistic and statistical notions, which are the basis of the logical-mathematical reasoning under uncertainty, with incomplete information. This will stimulate those critical skills which allow to face, besides "routine" problems, new problems too. In particular, students should acquire some basic notions which concern conditional and unconditional probabilities, discrete and continuous probability distributions, and statistical inference.Basic notions and theoretical results on conditional and unconditional probabilities, prevision, variance, correlation coefficient, probability density, cumulative distribution function, joint, marginal and conditional distributions, characteristic function, basic notions on statistical inference.

Educational objectives

General learning outcomes

The class in Meccanica Razionale has a twofold aim: provide the
students with the methods necessary to approach the study of
constrained mechanical systems, in particular rigid body systems,
and show how a rigorous mathematical formalism can be fully
integrated within a physical theory enabling its full and deep
rigorous understanding.

Specific learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding skill
The students learn the theory of Euclidean spaces motion (relative
motion), the kinematics and the dynamics of systems of rigid bodies,
the Lagrangian approach to the study of ideal holonomic constrained systems.
Moreover, the students will learn how to cast a mechanical problem
in a mathematical model via the ordinary differential equation theory.

Applying knowledge and understanding skill
The class completed, the student will be able to deal with
systems of rigid bodies and, in the case of ideal holonomic
constraints, write the equation of motions sufficient to the
description of all the possible motions of the system.
Moreover, the student will have learnt the methods to detect the
equilibrium position of the system and to study their stability
character.

Communication skill
The students practice their communication skills during the final
oral exam, in which they have to provide a mathematically rigorous
treatment of relevant aspects of an involved physical theory.

Learning skill
The student practice his self-learning skills by tackling and
solving many different physical problems. The student, indeed,
has to attack a physical problem on his own trying, first, to
recast the problem using the correct mathematical modelling and,
then, studying analytically and qualitatively the equations he found.

Educational objectives

The corse of the Applied Physics Environmental is to develop and deepen at application level the basic principles dealt with the courses of Physics, to provide the future engineer, an interdisciplinary training on technical application.The basic subject concern: the transmission of heat thermodynamics, acoustics and illuminating. The course introduce all elements of engineering closely related to environmental problems.

Educational objectives

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING.
Through the introduction of the basic concepts concerning the analysis of linear time-invariant electrical circuits, with particular reference both to the problems of signal and information processing and to power electrical systems, the student will acquire understanding to avant-garde themes in the field of study, in relation to circuits and algorithms for the processing of information in industrial and ICT applications.

CAPABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING.
At the end of the course, the student will be provided with a basic preparation that will allow the understanding of phe-nomena related to the production, transmission and use of electricity. She/he will therefore be able to apply the ac-quired knowledge in an appropriate way as well as to apply techniques and methods of analysis and solution within the field of study, with particular reference to the Civil and Industrial Engineering.

MAKING AUTONOMOUS JUDGEMENTS.
The course aims at providing the capability to analyze linear time-invariant electrical circuits, which is preliminary to face subsequent issues concerning the theory of linear and non-linear circuits, electronics and telecommunications. In this way, the student will collect and interpret the concepts provided in order to make judgments in an autonomous manner, especially for the continuation of her/his studies.

COMMUNICATE SKILLS.
The course illustrates the fundamental methods for the modeling and the analysis of linear time-invariant electrical cir-cuits, single-phase and three-phase circuits, as well as the principles of operation of the main electrical machines. Par-ticular emphasis is given to the application aspects and those of intersection with the normal activities of an industrial engineer. Following this course, the student will be able to communicate the acquired information and the awareness of the existing problems to specialists and non-specialists in the world of work and research, in which she/he will devel-op her/his subsequent educational, scientific and professional activities.

LEARNING SKILLS.
The teaching methodology implemented in the course, based on the rigorous definition of the reference model, will re-quire to face technical-scientific problems never seen before in a proactive way and with a solid and well-defined methodology, so as to be able to develop the necessary skills to undertake the subsequent studies with a high degree of autonomy. In particular, the use of analytic transformations (Laplace Transform and Fourier Transform) improves the comprehension of phenomena and the generalization capability.

Educational objectives

The final exam consists of the presentation of an essay related to the activities conducted during the stage/Thesis-Work.
The preparation for this exam make it necessary for the student to get skills related to the presentation of her/his work,and the capability to discuss and argue with an audience fully aware of the topics presented.
