Competencies / Learning Outcomes

Specific skills

  • K1. Recognize the general laws of applied physics (mechanics, thermodynamics, fields and waves, and electromagnetism) that are applied in engineering.

  • S2. Apply the general laws of mechanics, thermodynamics, fields and waves, and electromagnetism to the resolution of engineering problems.

  • S32. Apply critical thinking using different strategies depending on what needs to be learned and in the context in which it needs to be learned.

  • C9. Apply spelling and grammatical rules, distinguishing the main oral and written communicative registers in an academic environment.

Presentation of the subject

The Physics II subject belongs to the basic Physics subject of industrial engineering degrees. The various topics discussed in the subject are designed to train students to learn new theories and methods that they will need in later subjects of the degree. It enables them to solve problems with initiative, to communicate and transmit knowledge and to carry out measurements and calculations.

The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, either towards students or towards teachers. We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer prejudice from others.

Activities and evaluation system

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION:

60% Individual assessment test (PI), recoverable by topic in case of failing the subject (a minimum grade of 4/10 must be obtained in this activity in order to pass the subject).

20% Practical activities (AP) with mandatory attendance (non-refundable).

15% Presentation of exercises (EX) in group (non-recoverable).

5% Active Participation (PA) (non-recoverable).

  • If PI greater than or equal to 4: Final grade = 60% PI + 20% AP + 15% EX + 5% PA
  • If PI is less than 4: Final grade = PI grade

RECOVERY (PR):

  • If PR greater than or equal to 4: Final grade = 60% PR + 20% AP + 15% EX + 5% PA
  • If PR is less than 4: Final grade = PR grade

 

Any form of academic fraud will be sanctioned in accordance with the center's assessment regulations. If signs of fraud are detected, including the improper use of generative artificial intelligence tools, the subject's teaching staff may call the student for an individual interview with the aim of verifying their authorship.
