Learning outcomes |
Acquisition of basic knowledge, theoretical and practical, in Physics, namely in Mechanics, and Vibrations and Waves, 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 Mechanics, and Vibrations and Waves. Consequently, will be able to apply its basic principles in the description and discussion of a physical experience relevant to Engineering.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The teaching/learning activities of the Curricular Unit include theoretical classes with exposition of the themes, examples of context and application by the teacher, and theoretical-practical classes: after the presentation of the theoretical contents, these are exemplified in concrete applications, allowing clarification of the methods explained and practice of their use, and selected exercises are solved according to the difficulties manifested.
The assessment of knowledge is carried out throughout the semester with the completion of written tests and if students do not reach the expected competencies, the assessment is done by a written exam at the end of the semester.
