Objective
After completing the course the student can:
- use quantities and units in accordance with the SI system
- solve problems consist of motion
- make graphical presentations and analyze them
- draw free-body diagram
- solve problems involved forces using Newton´s laws
- apply work and conservation of energy to solve problems
- calculate electric and magnetic forces acting on particles and the wave motion of an electro-magnetic fields in engineer’s work
- describe measurement techniques of temperature
Content
- SI system of units
- kinematics, friction
- Newton´s laws with some applications
- work, power and energy
- electric and magnetic fields
Materials
Teacher provides each week and in advance to the class a powerpoint with the concepts to learn
In additioin, these two books
UniversityPhysicsVolume1-OP.pdf (free online version)
UniversityPhysicsVolume2-OP.pdf (free online version)
Teaching methods
The main concepts of physics are presented to the students. Every day a new concept or theme. student solves exercises by its own.
The method concentrates in students to get agile with solving physics problems and the right use of mathematics. The course doesn't try to present lots of new concepts, but ensure that students are good with those ones presented.
Exam schedules
Final Exam: 9th December 2022 from 10:00 to 14:00
Retake exam timetable to be decided not later than end of March 2023
International connections
Innopeda and student centered approach
Completion alternatives
There are not alternative methods. All students in Finland need to be present in ICT building. NOT ONLINE
Student workload
2 hours of class every week plus 5 hours of own work
class starts sharp at defined time. Not 2, not 3, not 15 minutes after. If start time is 10:00, then it starts at 10:00
There is not brake during the class, since it is already short
Content scheduling
TO BE UPDATED ONCE THE TIMETABLES ARE CLEAR, in August
Classes are weekly (day and place to be confirmed), from 9:15 to 12:00.
