PHYSICS

Course objectives

GENERAL OBJECTIVES - Learning the main concepts of Physics concerning mechanics, termodynamics, electromagnetism and optics, paying attention to observations of common live and to the applications to real world situations. - Developing problem-solving ability by using an approach that describes physical phenomena, combining analytical, numerical and IT methods, in particular learning to check physical dimensions and the order of magnitude of the results. - Developing a critical sense concerning the unavoidable uncertainties, to be taken into acccount when solving problems real life data are used in the calculations. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: A – Knowledge and understanding - To emonstrate knowledge and understanding at post secondary instruction of the concepts taught during the course and of the basic elements of the logic of uncertainty needed to handle experimental data. - To emonstrate to see and use, in the problem-solving process, the analogies between different physical phenomena. B – Application skills - To ormalize a physics problem using the tools of algebra, geometry and analysis. - To Solve a problem using analytical, numeric or computational methods, making also use of 'high level' programming languages. C – Autonomy of judgment - To develop the ability to autonomously set up, analyze and solve problems of physics. D – Communication skills - To develop the ability to autonomously set up, analyze and solve problems of physics. E – Ability to learn - Develop the skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy.
