Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to provide the students with an introduction to the scientific method and with the basic knowledge of classical mechanics and thermodynamics.
At the end of the course, the students will be able to:
a) Show to possess good knowledge of the fundamental laws of classical mechanics and thermodynamics.
b) Solve problems in mechanics and thermodynamics.
c) Apply the physical laws to the different fields of interest in order to solve practical problems that they will face during their studies.

Examination Methods
Written test consisting of exercises on the topics covered during the course and some multiple choice questions. The witten test can be followed by an oral exam (optional), which aims to acquire, if necessary, further elements for evaluation of students and eventually clarify aspects of the written test.
