The course that Industrial Engineering students attend in the second semester of the first academic year intends to introduce the student to the principles of Mechanics, Static and Dynamics of Fluids, Oscillations and Thermodynamics, providing them with the basic knowledge of classical physics both from a theoretical point of view to the experimental one.
The course has the following training objectives:
-knowledge and understanding of the basic methodology of the scientific method and measurement;
- applied knowledge and understanding: the student will have to acquire an adequate methodology for solving mechanical problems and for laboratory activities;
- knowledge and understanding of the classical mechanics of the material point;
- acquisition and understanding of the laws and principles of dynamics and statics of rigid bodies;
- acquisition and understanding of the laws governing the statics and dynamics of fluids;
- acquisition and understanding of oscillatory phenomena;
- acquisition and understanding of the fundamental principles of thermodynamics.
- MAking of judgment. The student will have to develop skills capable of acquiring the ability to critically evaluate the relevant aspects of a specific physical phenomenon.
- Communication skills. The student must be able to express the acquired knowledge clearly and appropriately, using rigorous and adequate language
- Learning skills. At the end of the course the student will have developed the ability to autonomously consult a general physics textbook and to grasp the relevant aspects of a problem of mechanics, fluid dynamics and thermodynamics.
The course aims to introduce the basic methodologies of Experimental Physics by developing the ability to identify the essential aspects of physical phenomena and the critical logic skills that allow you to propose and / or verify phenomenological models capable of describing them.
