Physics (First year, first term)

The objective of this course is that students know and understand circuits and basic components and the operation of a computer.

RA1.1: Knowledge and understanding of the mathematics and other basic sciences underlying their engineering specialisation, at a level necessary to achieve the other programme outcomes. RA1.2: Knowledge and understanding of engineering disciplines underlying their specialisation, at a level necessary to achieve the other programme outcomes, including some awareness at their Forefront. RA2.1: Ability to analyse complex engineering products, processes and systems in their field of study; to select and apply relevant methods from established analytical, computational and experimental methods; to correctly interpret the outcomes of such analyses. RA4.3: Laboratory/workshop skills and ability to design and conduct experimental investigations, interpret data and draw conclusions in their field of study. RA5.2: Practical skills for solving complex problems, realising complex engineer ing designs and conducting investigations in their field of study. RA8.1: Ability to recognise the need for and to engage in independent life-long learning. CB1: Students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that builds on the foundation of general secondary education, and is usually at a level that, while relying on advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study. CG2: Be able to generate new ideas (creativity), to anticipate new situations, to adapt to new situations, working in a team and interact with others, but at the same time be able to work autonomously. CGB2: Understanding and mastery of the basic concepts of fields and waves and electromagnetism, electric circuit theory, electronic circuits, physical princi- ples of semiconductors and logic families, electronic and photonic devices, and their application to the resolution of engineering problems. CECRI1: Ability to design, develop, select and evaluate computer applications and systems, ensuring their reliability, security and quality, in accordance with ethical principles and current legislation and regulations.

Theoretical lessons and practical exercises were conducted in the classroom. (1.5 ECTS) Two partials test will be made which will form part of the continuous assessment note. (1.5 ECTS) There will be a practice in the laboratory. (0.5 ECTS) Simulation practice using software tool. The tool will be presented to the students and will solve some exercises in class. A compulsory simulation exercise that will be part of the continuous assessment note will be raised. (1.5 ECTS) Two mid-term exams. (0.5 ECTS) There will be tutoring online and face-to-face weekly. (0.5 ECTS) In this subject, students are not allowed to use artificial intelligence tools for the completion of the tasks or exercises proposed by the professor. In the event that the use of AI by the student results in academic fraud by falsifying the results of an exam or required work to accredit academic performance, the provisions of the Regulations of the Carlos III University of Madrid for the partial development of Law 3/2022, of February 24, on university coexistence, will be applied.
