Física Geral

Theoretical lessons are aimed for theoretical exposition of the syllabus, and, whenever appropriate, are accompanied by illustrative examples intended for the consolidation of the subjects taught, which is further accomplished in theoretical-practical lessons, aimed for solving problems related to the syl-labus. In the laboratory classes, students perform, in groups, four practical works related to the sylla-bus (linear dynamics, statics, pendulum and rotation dynamics).
Evaluation of acquired knowledge consists of a laboratory component (P) with a maximum classifica-tion of 4 points, and a written evaluation component (E) classified for 20 points, which consist of the examinations in force in the evaluation regulation of ISEC. Approval in the curricular unit is obtained if the classification in the laboratory component is equal to or greater than 2.0 points and the final classification, computed as 0.8*E+P, is equal to or greater than 9.5 points.

This course aims to provide students with knowledge in some areas of physics with particular im-portance in the field of Biomedical Engineering. The afore mentioned knowledge is fundamental to a better understanding of some biological processes as well as the principles of operation of several medical and biomedical instrumentation for measuring biological parameters. Thus, students should acquire skills in the fundamental principles and laws in the different areas of physics taught, learn to apply the acquired knowledge in concrete practical situations, as well as interpret and discuss the physical meaning of numerical expressions and results of laboratory experiments.
