Objectives
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
THE CLASS AIMS TO PROVIDE ELEMENTS OF CLASSICAL MECHANICS AND ELECTROMAGNETISM, WHICH ARE RELEVANT TO ENGINEERING, PARTICULARLY WITH REGARD TO THE ACQUISITION OF SCIENTIFIC METHODOLOGY, AND IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE PHYSICAL BASIS FOR THE STUDY OF HIGHER LEVEL CLASSES.
ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
THE STUDENT MUST BE ABLE TO OBTAIN A SUFFICIENT UNDERSTANDING IN ORDER TO APPLY HIS KNOWLEDGE TO THE SOLUTION OF PROBLEMS OF CLASSICAL MECHANICS AND ELECTROMAGNETISM.
MAKING JUDGEMENT
THE STUDENT MUST DEVELOP CRITICAL THINKING AND INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT TO SOLVE PROBLEMS SUCH AS THOSE INTRODUCED DURING THE CLASS.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
THE STUDENT MUST BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY AND RIGOROUSLY THE CONCEPTS LEARNED DURING THE CLASS.
LEARNING SKILLS
THE STUDENT NEEDS TO DEVELOP EFFECTIVE METHODS OF LEARNING OF THE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE CLASS.
Prerequisites
ELEMENTARY TOOLS OF ALGEBRA, GEOMETRY AND TRIGONOMETRY; KNOWLEDGE OF SIMPLE FUNCTIONS AND OF THEIR GRAPHS.

Teaching Methods
LESSONS AND EXERCISES, EVEN WITH THE ADOPTION, DURING EXERCISES, OF INTERACTIVE METHODS THAT PROVIDE INFORMATION ON THE DEGREE OF UNDERSTANDING ACHIEVED BY STUDENTS.
Verification of learning
THE EVALUATION OF CLASS AIMS ACHIEVEMENT IS DONE BY MEANS OF WRITTEN AND ORAL EXAMINATION. THE CRITERIA ARE FOCUSED ON THE ABILITY OF THE STUDENT TO SOLVE PROBLEMS AND TO DESCRIBE PHYSICAL PHENOMENA RELATED TO CLASSICAL PHYSICS. IN THE WRITTEN EXAM, THE STUDENT IS ASKED TO SOLVE PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE APPLICATION OF FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS, AND VECTOR AND INFINITESIMAL CALCULUS, TO CASE STUDIES OF ELEMENTARY PHYSICAL PHENOMENA. THE ORAL EXAM FOCUSES ON THE CHECK OF THE SUCCESSFUL LEARNING OF THEORETICAL AND APPLICATIVE ELEMENTS PRESENTED DURING THE CLASS, JUDGING IN PARTICULAR THE CONTENTS, THE ACCURACY OF THE ORAL PRESENTATION, THE VERBAL AND MATHEMATICAL EXPOSITION, THE ABILITY OF CORRELATING DIFFERENT TOPICS OF THE PROGRAM.
