Objectives
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES: THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH A COMPLETE PICTURE OF THE BASIC ELEMENTS OF CLASSICAL MECHANICS WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THOSE TOPICS CLOSELY RELATED TO ENGINEERING.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE KNOWLEDGE OF THE BASIC CONCEPTS OF CLASSICAL MECHANICS IN A CONCISE AND CORRECT MANNER FOR THE APPLICATIONS.
ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE IS TO MAKE THE STUDENT ABLE TO MASTER THE THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED AND TO BE ABLE TO SOLVE EXERCISES RELATED TO CLASSICAL MECHANICS PROBLEMS.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS: THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE THE STUDENT WITH THE ABILITY TO EXPLAIN THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED IN A CLEAR AND RIGOROUS WAY. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT MUST BE ABLE TO CORRECTLY STATE DEFINITIONS, PROBLEMS AND THEOREMS RELATING TO THE CONTENTS OF THE COURSE.
MAKING JUDGMENTS: STUDENTS ARE MOTIVATED TO LEARN CRITICALLY AND RESPONSIBLY ALL THE TOPICS EXPOSED DURING LESSONS IN THE CLASSROOM AND TO ENRICH THEIR JUDGMENT CAPACITIES THROUGH THE STUDY OF THE EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS INDICATED BY THE TEACHER.
Prerequisites
PREREQUISITES: THE COURSE REQUIRES THE KNOWLEDGE OF BASIC MATHEMATICS TOPICS: ALGEBRA, ELEMENTARY GEOMETRY, LOGARITHMS, TRIGONOMETRY, BASIC ELEMENTAL DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS, FIRST AND SECOND EQUATIONS AND INEQUALITIES, ALGEBRAIC SYSTEMS.

Teaching Methods
TEACHING METHODS: TEACHING CONSISTS OF 30 HOURS OF FRONTAL LECTURES AND 30 HOURS OF EXERCISES WITH AN ADDITIONAL A NUMBER OF TUTORING HOURS. LESSONS AND EXERCISES WILL ALSO BE PROVIDED ON THE TOPICS OUTLINED WITH THE AID OF AUDIOVISUAL MATERIAL. EXERCISES WILL INCLUDE THE DIRECT PARTICIPATION OF STUDENTS WHO WILL BE INVITED TO ATTEND AND DISCUSS THE EXERCISES PROPOSED BY THE TEACHER.
Verification of learning
LEARNING VERIFICATION MODES: THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE COURSE OBJECTIVES WILL BE CERTIFIED BY A WRITTEN AND ORAL EXAM WITH GRADES ON A SCALE OF 30. THE FINAL SCRIPT INCLUDES EXERCISES TO BE PERFORMED IN 3 HOURS. THE WRITTEN EXAM VERIFIES THE STUDENT'S ABILITY TO SOLVE CONCRETE APPLICATION PROBLEMS OF POINT KINEMATICS, POINT DYNAMICS, AND DYNAMICS OF MATERIAL SYSTEMS, IN PARTICULAR OF RIGID BODIES. THE ORAL EXAM VERIFIES THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING REGARDING THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTUAL, MATHEMATICAL AND STRUCTURAL ASPECTS OF MECHANICS. STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE ORAL EXAM IF THE GRADES OF THE WRITTEN TEST ARE AT LEAST 18/30. INTERMEDIATE SCRIPT EXAMINATIONS OF 2 HOURS WITH PROBLEMS CAN BE SCHEDULED DURING THE COURSE; THOSE WHO PASS THE INTERMEDIATE SCRIPT EXAMINATIONS MAY OPT TO SUPPORT THE FINAL ORAL EXAM DIRECTLY. THE OVERALL EVALUATION WILL BE GRADUATED ACCORDING TO THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ACQUIRED. AN INADEQUATE AND INSUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE MATHEMATICAL, PHYSICAL AND CONCEPTUAL FUNDAMENTALS OF MECHANICS WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO PASS THE EXAM. THE EVALUATION FOR THE TESTS WHICH ARE CONSIDERED PASSED IS BASED ON THE ACTUAL LEVEL OF MASTERY OF THE CONCEPTUAL ASPECTS, METHODS, AND CONCRETE APPLICATIONS. ONLY A FULL AND COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE OF CONCEPTS, METHODS, AND APPLICATIONS ENABLES THE EXAMINATION TO PASS WITH THE HIGHEST MARKS. DEPENDING ON THE RESPECTIVE LEVELS OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPTS, METHODS, AND APPLICATIONS TO REAL AND CONCRETE PROBLEMS, PASSING THE TEST WILL BE EVALUATED WITH INTERMEDIATE GRADES.
