| EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES AND COMPETENCE TO BE ACQUIRED: KNOWLEDGE OF THE CONCEPTS BEHIND PHYSICAL PHENOMENA AND UNDERSTANDING THEIR TERMINOLOGY. KNOWLEDGE OF TOOLS TO SOLVE SIMPLE PROBLEMS AND TO DESCRIBE MATHEMATICALLY THE PHYSICAL PHENOMENA RELATED TO BASIC CLASSICAL PHYSICS. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: KNOWLEDGE OF THE ELEMENTS OF CLASSICAL MECHANICS AND ELECTROMAGNETISM, WHICH ARE RELEVANT FOR CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING, WITH PARTICULAR REGARD TO THE ACQUISITION OF SCIENTIFIC METHODOLOGY, AND IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE PHYSICAL BASIS FOR THE STUDY OF HIGHER LEVEL TEACHING. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: KNOW HOW TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE FOR THE SOLUTION OF MECHANICAL AND ELECTROMAGNETISM PROBLEMS. AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT: FORMATION OF CRITICAL SPIRIT AND AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SOLVE PROBLEMS SUCH AS THOSE INTRODUCED DURING THE TEACHING. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: KNOW HOW TO COMMUNICATE RIGOROUSLY AND EFFECTIVELY THE CONCEPTS LEARNED DURING TEACHING. ABILITY TO LEARN: KNOW HOW TO DEVELOP EFFECTIVE METHODOLOGIES FOR LEARNING THE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF TEACHING. |

| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| LESSONS (8 CFU) AND EXERCISES (4 CFU), EVEN WITH THE ADOPTION, DURING EXERCISES, OF INTERACTIVE METHODS THAT PROVIDE INFORMATION ON THE DEGREE OF UNDERSTANDING ACHIEVED BY STUDENTS. THE CLASS ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. THE MINIMUM PERCENTAGE OF PRESENCES IS 70%. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE EVALUATION OF CLASS AIMS ACHIEVEMENT IS DONE AT THE END OF THE CLASS BY MEANS OF WRITTEN AND ORAL EXAMINATION. THE WRITTEN TEST TIME DURATION CAN VARY BETWWEEN 3 AND 3 HOURS, ACCORDING TO THE TYPOLOGY OF PROBLEMS. THE WRITTEN TEST OF MECHANICS INCLUDES ONE OR TWO PROBLEMS (ACCORDING TO THE DIFFICULTY) OF KINEMATICS, DYNAMICS, STATICS. THE WRITTEN TEST OF ELECTROMAGNETISM INCLUDES ONE OR TWO PROBLEMS (ACCORDING TO THE DIFFICULTY) OF ELECTROSTATICS, MAGNETISM, ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION. 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 MUST 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. THE RESULTS OF BOTH THE EXAMS ARE GIVEN IN POINTS, WITH A MAXIMUM OF 30. THE FINAL RESULT IS AGAIN GIVEN IN POINTS WITH A MAXIMUM OF 30 AND INCLUDES THE RESULTS OF BOTH WRITTEN AND ORAL EXAM. 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. |
