Prerequisites
The student must have the basic knowledge that comes from a three-year degree
Books
Material from the professor and some basic papers. All the Reference material is available form the course site on the Sapienza elearning platform.
Frequency
Not Mandatory but recommended in particular for the exercises
Exam mode
The examination is conducted through: 1)LogBook on the Exercises conducted in the classroom. 2)an oral examination in which an oral question on the entire program will be discussed . Overall, the examination is intended to assess the level the student has reached in acquiring the skills described in the training objectives, with particular reference to: (a) understanding of the concepts conveyed during the lectures, not only from a theoretical point of view but also with reference to application problems; (b) ability to learn and organize concepts; (d) accuracy and precision of exposition.
Lesson mode
Teaching will be carried out by addressing the 4 main topics, as far as possible each topic covered in theory will be followed by a practical or simulative laboratory exercise. Students will be provided with the opportunity to install on their Computers a temporary license of Comsol Multiphysics Classkit, useful for the exercises. Various digital technologies for teaching will be integrated as far as possible
