| STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING KNOWLEDGES: I) BASIC LAWS OF QUANTUM MECHANICS, STATISTICAL THERMODYNAMICS, AND KINETICS; II) ENERGY LEVEL DISTRIBUTION OF ATOMS AND MOLECULES; III) UNDERSTANDING AT MICROSCOPIC LEVEL THE MEANING OF NON-MECHANICAL QUANTITIES, SUCH AS TEMPERATURE, HEAT, ENTROPY, AND FREE ENERGY; IV) FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES AND MODEL OF CHEMICAL REACTION DYNAMIMICS. STUDENTS WILL ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING ABILITIES: I) EVALUATE ENERGY LEVEL DISTRIBUTIONS OF ATOMS AND MOLECULES; II) MANAGE SPECTRAL DATA; III) SOLVE NUMERICAL PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE COURSE CONTENT; IV) ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE IN TECHNICAL LANGUAGE; V) DEVELOPING LEARNING SKILLS NECESSARY FOR PROFESSIONAL LIFE. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| A BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF CLASSICAL MECHANICS, ELECTROMAGNETISM, THERMODYNAMICS, AND CALCULUS. |

| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE TEACHING CONSISTS OF FRONT LESSONS OF 48 HOURS (6 CFU). NUMERICAL EXERCISES ARE ALSO PROVIDED AS NATURAL INTEGRATION OF THEORETICAL LESSONS. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE TEACHING OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING AN UNIVERSITY SCHEDULED EXAMINATION SCORED FROM 0-30. THE EXAM CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS: A WRITTEN TEST AND AN ORAL EXAM. THE WRITTEN TEST IS PRELIMINARY TO THE ORAL EXAMINATION AND CONSISTS OF THREE NUMERICAL EXERCISES ON SUBJECTS OF THE TEACHING PROGRAM. THE TEST TAKES PLACE BEFORE THE ORAL TEST AND IS CONSIDERED TO BE PASSED BY ACHIEVING THE MINIMUM SCORE REQUIRED. THE WRITTEN TEST USUALLY HAS A DURATION OF 120 MINUTES AND IS AIMED AT VERIFYING THE ABILITY TO PROPERLY APPLY THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE. THE TEST CONTAIN THREE NUMERICAL EXERCISES FOR EACH MAJOR SUBJECT OF THE COURSE, QUANTUM MECHANICS, THERMODYNAMICS, AND STATISTICAL THERMODYNAMICS. THE ORAL TEST CONSISTS OF AN INTERVIEW WITH QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION ON THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL CONTENT LISTED IN THE TEACHING PROGRAM AND IS DESIGNED TO ENSURE THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL UNDERSTANDING REACHED BY THE STUDENT, AS WELL AS TESTING THE EXPOSURE CAPACITY BY USING THE APPROPRIATE TERMINOLOGY AND THE ABILITY TO AUTONOMOUSLY ORGANIZE EXPOSURE OF THE TEACHING CONTENT. |
