Objectives
By the end of this subject, students will be able to have: 1. Knowledge of basic physical phenomena with implications in engineering. 2. Understanding of the mathematical models that explain these phenomena. 3. Understanding and handling of the scientific method and scientific-technical language. 4. Development of reasoning techniques and strategies for analysis and problem solving. 5. Interpretation and analysis of experimental data. 6. Elementary handling of measurement devices and systems. 7. You should know the concepts of kinematics and dynamics of a particle and a system of particles, as well as the rigid solid. You will need to apply this knowledge to troubleshooting. 8. You should know the basic concepts of thermodynamics.
