The aim of the course is to provide students with the tools to know and understand the basics of Physics and its applications to technology and the environment, necessary for courses in the following years.
The expected learning outcomes are as follows.
1. Knowledge and understanding: to know and understand the basics of Physics and the applications to technologies and the environment.
2. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: to be able to solve application problems using the methods studied.
3. Autonomy of judgement: to be able to use the acquired knowledge to express autonomous judgement in different application contexts.
4. Communication skills: to acquire the technical language of physics in order to communicate clearly and unambiguously with specialist and non-specialist interlocutors.
5. Learning ability: to develop adequate skills to be able to independently investigate topics in the contexts in which one will be working. The student will have to demonstrate the ability to synthesise, ownership of language, clarity of exposition, judgement, knowledge of topics and ownership of language.
