Professional interest

The course is part of the material included in the literacy module of this degree. It is dedicated to Mechanics and Thermodynamics. Introduces you to the basic concepts and principles of these fields of physics. Its objectives are that students understand these concepts and principles; discuss the most important phenomena involved in; and explain the main applications derived from its use

Competencies and learning outcomes

General competencies

Knowledge about basic and technological material that enable learning new methods and theories, providing versatility for adapting to new situations.

Specific competencies

Understanding and mastery of the basic concepts about the general laws of mechanics, thermodynamics, fields, waves, electromagnetism, and their application towards solving engineering problems.

Objectives (Learning outcomes)

01Explain in your own words the more applied engineering concepts of classical mechanics and thermodynamics: among others, the errors in the measurements, significant figures, quantities and units, inertial reference, describing the motion magnitudes (absolute or relative) strength and types of force, work, potential energy, kinetic energy, center mass, moment of inertia, angular momentum balance, types of deformation (linear, angular and volume), characteristics of the oscillatory motion, pressure and others fluid properties, characteristics of ideal gases, temperature, temperature scales, and energy transfers between ideal gases, are considered important
02Apply concepts and basic principles of classical mechanics and thermodynamics approach to problems of interest in engineering: among others, the dimensional analysis, significant figures, the description of dynamic movement or energy policies, the equilibrium conditions, the relationship between strain and stress, oscillations, the simple and damped harmonic motion, the characteristics of the fluids, the principle of state of ideal gas, and energy transfers and their characteristics, are considered important
03Use tools to resolve, from a macroscopic point of view, interest in problems related to classical mechanics and thermodynamics engineering tools: among others, exponents and roots, arithmetic relations in scientific notation, quadratic equations, logarithms, exponential function, perimeters, areas and volumes of geometric figures, angles, trigonometric functions, identities and laws, derivatives and integrals
04Actively participate in group tasks included in the methodology of the subject
05Reflect on the application of the concepts and basic principles of classical mechanics and thermodynamics to engineering devices of interest
06To evaluate the results of peers and the rest of the class about analyzing situations of interest in engineering related to Classical Mechanics and Thermodynamics

Methodology and grading

Methodology

Cooperative learning: Develop active learning through cooperative working strategies among students and promote shared responsibility to reach group goals.
Lecture: Pass on knowledge and activate cognitive processes in students, encouraging their participation.
Problem-based learning: Develop active learning strategies through problem solving that promote thinking, experimentation, and decision making in the student.
Solving exercises and problems: Exercise, test, and apply previous knowledge through routine repetition.

Grading

The student has two modes: continuous and final assessment (in both cases, of the contents from classroom and lab). Continuous assessment takes place in the classroom and lab along of the course. The final assessment is an examination at the end of the course, in February and in September. In both types of assessment, the score is distributed in a 20% laboratory, 30% of theoretical and 50% of problems.
