Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

SPECIALIZATION IN BUSINESS

The learning process that is designed for this subject is based on the following:

The subject consists of 6 ECTS credits, which represents 150 hours of student work on the subject during the semester. 40% of this work (60 h.) Will take place in the classroom, and the rest will be autonomous. One semester consist of 15 teaching weeks. To make the timing is used to measure the school week, in which the student must devote to the study of the subject 10 hours.

DEFENSE

This is a general physics course on electromagnetism and optics. It provides students with background knowledge about the physical laws relevant for solving problems in engineering, in particular those related to wave motion, electrostatic, magnetism or optics. Previous knowledge on vector field analysis and calculus is a fundamental prerequisite. Overall, Physics II helps to develop technical skills necessary to overcome some of the subjects in higher courses like Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering and Fundamentals of Electronics.

This course provides the basis of scientific and technological knowledge and application of scientific method. Therefore, the activities and methodology are oriented to the development of thinking skills, analysis and synthesis, problem solving of engineering problems about the matter, and introduction to experimental procedures.

5.2. Learning tasks

SPECIALIZATION IN BUSINESS

The program includes the following activities:
 

• Theoretical classes: theoretical activities so fundamentally expository given by the teacher.
• Practical classes: practical discussion activities and conducting exercises conducted in the classroom and requiring high student participation.
• Laboratory Practice: Practical activities in laboratories.
• Group tutorials.
• individual tutoring.

DEFENSE

Classroom teaching: involves lectures, solving problems and laboratory sessions.

Individual work: involves activities such as homework provided by the teacher, lab reports…

Office hours for assistance: either individually or in small groups of students.
