Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
Introduction to differential and integral calculus, vector linear algebra and trigonometry. We recommend taking the Physics course offered by our university to incoming students in all Engineering degrees.
Objectives
By the end of this course, students will be able to: 1.- Know and understand the physical principles of electricity and magnetism. 2.- Apply their knowledge and understanding to identify, formulate and solve problems of electricity and magnetism by using established methods. 3.- Design and carry out experiments on electricity and magnetism to interpret the data and draw conclusions from them. 4.- Handle correctly the basic devices and systems of electrical measurements for data collection in electricity and magnetism practices. 5.- Select and use appropriate tools and methods to solve problems of electricity and magnetism. 6.- Combine theory and practice to solve problems of electricity and magnetism.
Skills and learning outcomes
