Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, the student must be able to:
This Curricular Unit, CU, aims to consolidate and deepen some fundamental concepts and principles of applied physics. Reinforce this knowledge through applications to the real world and encourage interconnection between subjects. Develop the ability to reflect, analyze and apply knowledge to any problem, so simple and logical, in its resolution applying some basic principles well understood. Will be given great emphasis to the ability to manipulate concepts and problem solving.
In this CU, students should be able to identify the importance of physical interpretation and explanation of phenomena in the area of engineering sciences, in particular, and science and technology in general.
CO1. Explain the processes of heat transfer. (#KU) (NB1, NB2)
CO2. Explain the concept of magnetic fields. Field flux and induction. (#KU) (NB1, NB2)
CO3. Explain the concept of electromagnetic wave, and its interaction with the medium. Light and its interaction with the medium. (#KU) (NB1, NB2)
CO4. Explain the phenomena of electricity and static charges. (#KU) (NB1, NB2)
CO5. Apply the knowledge acquired in carrying out the proposed laboratory work. (#EA, #IN) (NB3, NB4)
CO6. Analyze and interpret experimental and bibliographic data, and adjust the designed models while maintaining a physical interpretation. (#EP, #EA) (NB4, NB5)
