Teaching Methodologies
The theoretical lectures are taught using power-point slides. In the tutorial classes the problems proposed arerealistic involving daily situations and engineering problems. Until the third week the students must decide for the system of continuous assessment or examination. In the latter case the student is assessed by examinationat the normal exam or resource exam. If the student opting for the scheme of continuous assessment this will be done by performing a series of three tests, which should have at least 7 out of 20 values on each test to obtain approval in the discipline.
Learning Results
The Applied Mechanics studies the behavior of structural elements. So the principal goal of this curricular unit is that the students acquire knowledge enabling to understand the behavior of these elements used in an industrial environment, with particular emphasis on the areas of mechanical. Skills: The student should be able to understand which conditions of use and the stresses to which the structural elements are subject, as well as determining the material more convenient shape and dimensions better suited to withstand various types of external stresses applied to machines, parts, parts of structures, etc … at the lowest possible cost and adequate security.
