Learning outcomes |
-A student completing this course should be able to identify, interpret and analyze elementary mechanical situations involving Newtonian classical mechanics. - It is the objective of the Course to acquire theoretical and practical knowledge of Physics useful to Engineering in the field of classical mechanics including the study of waves and vibrations. - At the end of the Course the student should be able to analyze, understand and describe mathematically some elementary phenomena of mechanics, including waves and vibrations. Consequently the student will be able to apply the basic principles of classical mechanics in the description and discussion of several phenomena involving Newtonian mechanics (Newton's Laws, Principles of Conservation, Gravitation, Fluids, Vibrations and Waves).
