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 |
Lectures (TE) involving oral presentations of the syllabus content using audiovisual aids, experimental demonstrations, and/or simple computer simulations. Theoretical-practical classes (TP) in which theoretical concepts are illustrated through concrete applications, including the completion of applied exercises, and in which active student participation is strongly encouraged.
The final assessment of the Course Unit will consist of a single component, which consists of a written midterm exam during the teaching-learning period and/or a written final exam during the regular and/or make-up exam periods, with questions focusing on the material covered in class.
Final Grade = 100% Written Test (Midterm or Final Exam)
The student will be exempt from the exam if the final teaching-learning grade is 10 or higher.
