Learning outcomes Students that complete this course should be able to describe physical phenomena in Mechanics:
1. Be able to distinguish and describe several types of motions, knowing the principles and laws of the dynamics of a particle and system of particles. Including conservation laws of linear and angular momentum,
2. Understand the energy concepts, the work done by forces, the conservation of Mechanic energy and its dissipation by non conservative forces.
3. Have acquired basics skills in identifying fluids motions types and some intrinsic concepts as trajectories, streamlines, energy equations balance.
4. Have acquired basics skills in elasticity concepts
5. Must be able to propose and justify strategies using basic research techniques or other methods.
6. Must have acquired adequate capacity for synthesis.
