Learning outcomes |
Acquisition of basic knowledge, theoretical and practical, in Physics, namely Electromagnetism, Modern Physics and Thermodynamics, for the understanding of important physical phenomena for Engineering.
At the end of the course, the student should be able to analyze, understand and mathematically describe some basic phenomena of Electromagnetism, Modern Physics and Thermodynamics. Consequently, the student will be able to apply the basic principles in the description and discussion of a physical experience relevant to Engineering.
