PHYSICS FOR ENGINEERING II

Catalog description

The course Physics for Engineering II provides skills to explain the world that surrounds the student. The student will discover principles and laws that have connection with other disciplines and apply to analog phenomena and broader situations. This way, he will recognize the broad scope of Physics. The student will strengthen the correct use of the language of the discipline, perform cooperative experiment where they will manipulate instruments and take measurements that will report clearly and precisely. Topics are covered in sequential manner, integrating into inductive and deductive format. The course contains concepts, physical amounts, and laws to interpret and to describe the electromagnetic processes in nature and the technique, as well as the fundamental characteristics of the waves (mechanical and luminous), presenting with a mathematical level of depth of differentials variations: derive and integration. Algebra and trigonometry will be used with amplitude, as well as the calculations with vectorial amounts. The differential calculus will be used with po tential, sine, cosine, and exponential functions. The laws of electromagnetism will appear in their integral form, but the situations to solve will be with fields of high symmetry. The course consists of 45 hours of lecture and 45 hours of laboratory.
