PHYSICS

Academic Year 2024/2025 - Teacher: ELENA BRUNO

Expected Learning Outcomes

The course has the stated objective of providing adequate knowledge and understanding of the fundamental physical laws that regulate the processes typically used in catering, as well as skills in applying knowledge and the ability to understand basic scientific language.


Ability to apply knowledge and understanding:


Develop the ability to frame and understand the physical phenomena underlying physics and know how to recognise, use and apply them in real situations


Making judgments:


The student must be able to frame a problem and independently develop solutions


Communication skills:


The student will acquire the necessary communication skills and expressive appropriateness in the use of technical scientific language


Learning skills:


The course aims, as an objective, to provide the student with the necessary knowledge and theoretical methodologies to be able to face, study and understand the functioning underlying the various methodologies and situations with which she will have to deal in her professional work

Course Structure

Frontal lessons

The activity is carried out with the active involvement of the students, with continuous exercises in the classroom.
 
Should the circumstances require online or blended teaching, appropriate
modifications to what is hereby stated may be introduced, in order to
achieve the main objectives of the course.

Information for students with disabilities and/or DSA.

As a guarantee of equal opportunities and in compliance with current laws, interested students can ask for a personal interview in order to plan any compensatory and/or dispensatory measures, based on their specific needs and on teaching objectives of the discipline. It is also possible to ask the departmental contacts of CInAP (Center for Active and Participatory Integration - Services for Disabilities and/or DSAs), in the persons of prof. Anna De Angelis.

 

Required Prerequisites

Algebraic calculus, basic trigonometry, geometry (calculation of areas and volumes of the main elementary geometric figures, Pythagorean theorem, relationships between angles in triangles, parallel and perpendicular lines and relative angles, etc.), ability to manipulate data (equivalences, change unit of measurement, scientific notation of numbers such as 6.022 × 10^23, 1.6 × 10^(-19), etc), Cartesian coordinates.
