Objectives
EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES AND COMPETENCE TO BE ACQUIRED:
KNOWLEDGE OF THE APPROPRIATE MEANS FOR THE REPRESENTATION, INTERPRETATION AND PROCESSING OF DATA FROM MEASUREMENTS AND EXPERIMENTS.
ABILITY TO ANALYSE AND SYNTHESISE SIMPLE PROBLEMS IN CIVIL, ENVIRONMENTAL, MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING, AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE BASIC ELEMENTS OF PHYSICAL ACOUSTICS.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING SKILLS:
UNDERSTANDING OF THE TERMINOLOGY USED IN THE ANALYSIS OF PHYSICAL DATA, METHODS OF ANALYSIS OF EXPERIMENTAL DATA AND RELATED STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES. ACQUISITION OF METHODOLOGIES FOR THE STUDY OF SIMPLE PROBLEMS OF CIVIL, ENVIRONMENTAL, MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING, AND THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF THE ANALYSIS OF WAVE SIGNALS (SEISMIC WAVES, SOUND WAVES, ELECTRICAL SIGNALS, ETC.).
ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
KNOWING HOW TO MANAGE A SAMPLE OF EXPERIMENTAL DATA BY DETERMINING ITS STATISTICAL PROPERTIES AND VERIFYING ITS PREDICTIVE CAPACITY IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE GOODNESS OF THE MEASUREMENT. DEFINITION OF THE BASIC CONCEPTS NECESSARY FOR THE REALIZATION OF AN EXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENT AND ITS UNDERSTANDING IN THE ACOUSTIC FIELD, AND NOT ONLY.
AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT:
KNOWING HOW TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS THE MOST APPROPRIATE SCHEME FOR THE ANALYSIS OF A SAMPLE OF EXPERIMENTAL DATA AND HOW TO DETERMINE THE CONDITIONS NECESSARY FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A PHYSICAL MEASURE IN THE CIVIL, ENVIRONMENTAL, MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC FIELDS.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
KNOW HOW TO WORK IN A TEAM AND ORALLY PRESENT A TOPIC RELATED TO THE ANALYSIS OF PHYSICAL DATA FOR ENGINEERING.
ABILITY TO LEARN:
KNOWING HOW TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE TO CONTEXTS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE, AND TO DEEPEN THE TOPICS TREATED USING MATERIALS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PROPOSED. THE INCLINATION TO IDENTIFY A TOPIC AMONG THE DISCIPLINES ALREADY STUDIED OR AMONG THE FUTURE INTERESTS OF ONE'S PROFESSION IS ENCOURAGED, AND TO TAKE AUTONOMOUSLY, UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE TEACHER, A SIGNIFICANT DEEPENING OF THE SUBJECT.
Prerequisites
FOR A SUCCESSFUL CLASS, IT IS REQUIRED TO KNOW THE BASIC PHYSICS, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO MECHANICAL AND ELECTROMAGNETIC CONCEPTS, IN RELATION TO PHYSICS, PHYSICS I AND PHYSICS II COURSES.
Contents
PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS OF EXPERIMENTAL DATA (10 HOURS OF THEORY AND 5 HOURS OF EXERCISES):
EXPERIMENTAL DATA PRESENTATION. INTRODUCTION TO DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS AND ERROR THEORY. STATISTIC MEASUREMENTS RESULTS. DISTRIBUTION OF BERNOULLI, POISSON AND GAUSS. BAYES THEOREM. INFERENCE AND COMPARISON. CHI SQUARE TEST.
PHYSIC METHODS FOR SOLVING ENGINEERING PROBLEMS AND PREDICTIVE MODELS FOR PHYSICAL OBSERVABLES (15 HOURS OF THEORY AND 10 HOURS OF EXERCISES):
PHYSIC METHODS COMPARISON. NETWON, D’ALEMBERT, EULERO, LAGRANGE. TIME SERIES ANALYSIS. POISSON PROCESSES. MICRO AND MACRO MODELLING OF PHYSICAL AND ENGINEERING PHENOMENA.
WAVE PHYSICS AND APPLICATIONS TO ENGINEERING (12 HOURS OF THEORY AND 8 HOURS OF EXERCISES):
ACOUSTIC AND MECHANICAL WAVES. FOURIER ANALYSIS. FREQUENCY SPECTRUM. ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS OF ACOUSTIC PHYSICS.

Teaching Methods
THE CLASS INCLUDE THEORETICAL (ABOUT 36 HOURS), EXERCISE LESSONS (ABOUT 16 HOURS) AND LABORATORY LECTURES (ABOUT 8 HOURS). DURING EXERCISES AND LAB, A TOPIC TO BE ANALYZED IS ASSIGNED TO THE STUDENTS, UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE PROFESSOR. QUESTIONS AIMED AT THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE STUDY OF A PHYSICAL DATA SAMPLE ARE SUBMITTED, VERIFYING THE REAL ABILITY OF THE STUDENTS TO HANDLE AN EXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENT. BOTH FOR THE MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS AND FOR THE SOUND WAVE PROPAGATION ANALYSIS, PROBLEMS ARE PRESENTED, IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THE THINKING AND INVESTIGATION SCHEMES OF STUDENTS INVOLVED.
THE CLASS ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. THE MINIMUM PERCENTAGE OF PRESENCES IS 70%.
Verification of learning
THE EVALUATION OF CLASS AIMS ACHIEVEMENT IS DONE BY MEANS OF WRITTEN AND ORAL EXAMINATION. THE TIME DURATION OF THE TESTS CAN VARY FROM 2 TO 3 HOURS, ACCORDING TO THE TYPOLOGY OF PROBLEMS AND QUESTIONS. 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 OF THE CLASS. 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. THE FINAL MARK IS GIVEN IN POINTS WITH A MAXIMUM OF 30, INCLUDING THE RESULTS OF THE WRITTEN AND ORAL TESTS.
THE RESULT “CUM LAUDE” IS OBTAINED CONSIDERING:
-CLARITY OF EXPOSITION IN TERMS OF PROPER SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE,
-ABILITY TO CORRELATE DIFFERENT TOPICS OF THE CLASS, AND, IF POSSIBLE, TOPICS INCLUDED IN OTHER DISCIPLINES,
-INDEPENDENCE OF JUDGEMENT.
