(objectives)
The objectives of the course as a whole are the transmission of the basic notions of mechanics useful for the course of study) The course introduces the definition, understanding and use of the quantities and laws of mechanics and their application to processes and phenomena of interest. The course also aims to make students acquire the ability to present an argument orally and to draw up a related scientific report with relative data analysis. This within a simple, but rigorous modeling and mathematical treatment aimed at familiarizing students with graphical representations and estimates of the scales of quantities and physical phenomena.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES The course aims to introduce the student to the fundamental principles of Mechanics and in particular of the Scientific Method, providing him with the fundamental knowledge of mechanics for a correct application to the processes and phenomena of interest in the course of study, both from a theoretical and from a theoretical point of view. experimental.
EXPECTED LEARNING RESULTS At the end of the course the student is expected to have learned the theoretical and experimental foundations of Classical Mechanics, its fundamental laws and to have acquired the ability to apply the laws of mechanics to solve simple problems. An important expected result is the understanding of the scientific method and methods of research in Physics, and the ability to present the topics covered during the course. The course aims to develop the ability to identify the essential aspects of physical phenomena related to mechanics and the logical-critical skills that allow you to propose and / or verify phenomenological models capable of describing them.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. Have developed the knowledge of the fundamental principles of Mechanics and related methodologies.
ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. Knowing how to use the notions learned even in contexts other than those presented.
AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT. Develop critical analytical skills and be able to solve new problems even if similar to those discussed in class.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS. Students' ability to discuss the implications of concepts presented in class and the possible questions that may emerge from the topics covered will be stimulated.
LEARNING ABILITY. Be able to discuss fundamental scientific issues of mechanics and its applications.

Module: Module 2
(objectives)
The course aims to provide to the students the following learning outcomes: • To know basic principles of electromagnetism • To know basic principles electric circuits The expected learning results are: (i) the knowledge of the theoretical contents of the course (Dublin descriptor n°1), (ii) the competence in presenting technical argumentation skills (Dublin descriptor n°2), (iii) autonomy of judgment (Dublin descriptor n°3) in proposing the most appropriate approach to argue the request and (iv) the students' ability to express the answers to the questions proposed by the Commission with language properties, to support a dialectical relationship during discussion and to demonstrate logical-deductive and summary abilities in the exposition (Dublin descriptor n°4).
