Organisation and examination
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The lecture is divided into several chapters which are arbitrarily ordered. It is misleading to believe that physics is an assembly of small independent parts. The subdivision of the lecture is mainly related to the cutting of the lectures over the academic calendar.
Outline
- Introduction to physical dimensions and variables
- 1D motion
- 2D-3D motions
- Force
- Work done by a force, Energy
- Momentum and collisions
- Rotations
- Angular momentum
- Static equilibrium
- Gravitation
- Oscillations
- Optics (Archi.)
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The aim of the lectures is to give the students a basic knowledge on physical mechanics. Focus is put on an intuitive and phenomenological presentation in order to develop some physical sense. This organisation is supposed to facilitate the access to more complete formalism during the following years of studies.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Elementary skills on mathematics and physics at the level of secondary school.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Series of exercices are organized. These activities take place with smaller groups for encouraging the inter-activity. Preparing the problems to be solved is nearly mandatory.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
Additional information:
Lectures are jointly given to students in engineers and architecture. A total of 20h of theoretical lectures and 20h of exercicesis planned. Theoretical lectures are ex cathedra and mainly concern the explanation of fundamental concepts. During training meetings, this theoretical knowledge is applied. In both types of lessons, a special care is taken for emphasizing the role played by the different concepts in the work of engineers. Lectures are organized during the first half of the academic year.
Recommended or required readings
e.g. Physics for Engineers and Scientists by Serway and Jewett.
PDF files of the different slides ans problems are available at the AEES and/or on myULiege. A lecture book is also available.
Any session :
- In-person
written exam ( open-ended questions )
- Remote
written exam ( open-ended questions )
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred in-person
Additional information:
Written evaluation on January. Theoretical concepts (50% of the final note) and exercices (50%) are asked.
