	GENERAL OBJECTIVE: THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE KNOWLEDGE AND METHODOLOGIES OF THE PHYSICS OF MECHANICAL SYSTEMS. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE COURSE ALLOWS THE ACQUISITION OF NECESSARY TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGY. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE COURSE AIMS TO ENABLE STUDENTS TO USE, FOR PROFESSIONAL PURPOSES, THE KNOWLEDGE AND METHODS TO SOLVE EXERCISES AND PROBLEMS IN THE AREA OF PHYSICS. MAKING JUDGEMENT: THE STUDENT MUST BE ABLE TO CHOOSE APPROPRIATE METHODS TO ANALYZE THE PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED. THEY MUST ALSO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE SOLUTION PROCEDURE AND THE APPROPRIATE MATHEMATICAL TECHNIQUES. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: THE STUDENT MUST BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE RIGOROUSLY AND EFFECTIVELY THE CONCEPTS LEARNED DURING THE COURSE. LEARNING SKILLS: THE STUDENT MUST BE ABLE TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE LEARNED TO CONTEXTS EVEN APPARENTLY DIFFERENT FROM THOSE USUAL. THEY MUST ALSO BE ABLE TO THOROUGHLY EXAMINE THE TOPICS OF THE COURSE USING VARIOUS AND COMPLEMENTARY APPROACHES.

	Teaching Methods
	THE COURSE IS ORGANIZED IN LECTURES EXPLAINING THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF MECHANICS. EACH LECTURE IS DEVOTED TO THE THEORETICAL INTRODUCTION OF ONE OR MORE TOPICS FOLLOWED BY EXAMPLES AND APPLICATIONS. THE NUMBER OF HOURS DEDICATED TO THEORETICAL LESSONS IS 40, WHILE THE HOURS DEDICATED TO PRACTICAL EXERCISES ARE 20

	Verification of learning
	THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE TEACHING OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING AN EXAM WITH A SCORE ON A SCALE OF THIRTY. THE EXAM CONSISTS OF A WRITTEN TEST (WHICH MAY BE DIVIDED INTO TWO IN-COURSE TESTS) AND AN ORAL TEST, WHICH TAKE PLACE ON DIFFERENT DAYS ACCORDING TO A PREDETERMINED SCHEDULE. ACCESS TO THE ORAL TEST IS GRANTED TO STUDENTS WHO HAVE PASSED THE WRITTEN TEST. IN THE WRITTEN TEST, THE STUDENT MUST DEMONSTRATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUNDAMENTALS OF CLASSICAL MECHANICS BY DISCUSSING AND SOLVING THREE PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE TOPICS COVERED IN THE COURSE. THE TEST LASTS TWO HOURS AND IS EVALUATED ON A SCALE OF THIRTY. IT IS A PREREQUISITE FOR THE ORAL TEST AND IS CONSIDERED SUFFICIENT IF PASSED WITH A SCORE OF AT LEAST 15/30 CORRISPONDING TO THE CORRECT RESOLUTION OF AT LEAST ONE PROBLEM AND TO THE PARTIAL, YET CORRECT, TREATMENT OF A SECOND PROBLEM. THE WRITTEN TEST AIMS TO EVALUATE THE STUDENT'S KNOWLEDGE OF MECHANICS AND THEIR ABILITY TO APPLY PROBLEM-SOLVING METHODS IN THIS FIELD. THE ORAL EXAM AIMS TO ASSESS THE STUDENT'S ABILITY TO CRITICALLY DISCUSS SIMPLE SITUATIONS RELATED TO MECHANICS. THE ABILITY TO FORMULATE MODELS AND DISCUSS THEIR IMPLICATIONS IN LIGHT OF THE CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE, AS WELL AS THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE CONCEPTS LEARNED RIGOROUSLY AND EFFECTIVELY, WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE EVALUATION. THE FINAL GRADE IS THE AVERAGE OF THE TWO TESTS. THE MINIMUM PASSING GRADE FOR THE EXAM IS 18/30 CORRISPONDING TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL NUCLEI OF THE DISCIPLINE AND OF THE RELATED BASIC APPLICATIONS. HONORS MAY BE AWARDED TO STUDENTS WHO SCORE 30/30 AND DEMONSTRATE THE ABILITY TO INDEPENDENTLY USE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS ACQUIRED IN CONTEXTS OTHER THAN THOSE PROPOSED DURING THE COURSE. THE EXAM MAY BE TAKEN IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS: (A) IN-COURSE WRITTEN TESTS AND A FINAL ORAL TEST FOR WHICH STUDENTS ARE ADMITTED BY PASSING THE IN-COURSE WRITTEN TESTS WITH A MINIMUM SCORE OF 15/30. (B) PERIODIC WRITTEN TESTS WITH A CORRESPONDING ORAL TEST ACCORDING TO A SCHEDULE SET BY THE EDUCATIONAL COUNCIL FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT TAKEN AND/OR PASSED THE IN-COURSE WRITTEN TESTS. CANDIDATES WHO HAVE OBTAINED A SCORE OF AT LEAST 15/30 ARE ADMITTED TO THE ORAL TEST.
