"The course introduces the scientific method and the fundamentals of metrology. It presents the basic methods for observation and measurement, in addition to the mathematical and numerical tools for the analysis of the experimental data. It proposes simple experiments for the development of the capabilities of abstraction and modelization of physical phenomena.
It presents newton's mechanics and the main electric and magnetic phenomena, together with the pertinent laws. The student becomes familiar with the basic models of classical physics and, in particular, with such concepts as physical quantity, field, conservation law. The student is able to apply the above concepts to the solution of simple problems by means of appropriate analytical procedures."

Curriculum
teacher profile teaching materials
The second part of the course addresses rotational dynamics and systems, defining the torque of forces and angular momentum, the center of mass with its cardinal equation, and the behavior of rigid bodies in translational, rotational, and pure rolling motion, including the moment of inertia and rotational kinetic energy. Mechanics of the human body.
Fluid Mechanics
This section develops the study of fluids starting from statics, defining pressure and analyzing its variations through Stevin's law, Pascal's law, Torricelli's experiment, and Archimedes' principle. Fluid dynamics is then addressed by introducing the concepts of flow rate and the continuity equation, followed by the development of Bernoulli's theorem and its medical applications regarding aneurysms and stenosis.
Electromagnetism
The electrostatics portion analyzes electric charges, charging by friction and induction, and Coulomb's law. The electric field is defined with its field lines, calculating it for both point charges and continuous charge distributions, followed by the introduction of electric field flux and Gauss's theorem with its applications, as well as the behavior of conductors. Electric potential, potential difference, electrical potential energy, capacitance, and the parallel-plate capacitor are studied, including series and parallel connections and stored energy. The analysis of circuits covers current, resistance, Ohm's law, energy, power, electromotive force generators, and resistor connections. The series RC circuit is explored in depth, focusing on the charging and discharging processes applied in the medical field to pacemakers and axons. The final part introduces magnetism, the magnetic field, and the Lorentz force, analyzing the motion of a charged particle in applications such as velocity selectors and mass spectrometers, concluding with the magnetic force on a conductor, the Biot-Savart law, and Ampere's law.

Attendance
Course attendance is regulated by the general rules of the Bachelor's Degree Program in Biomedical Engineering. Lectures and exercise sessions are ordinarily held in person. However, students under specific conditions or with particular needs may request to follow the lessons remotely by submitting a formal request to the competent offices in accordance with University procedures. While respecting these inclusive modalities, continuous attendance in the classroom is strongly recommended for all those who are able to attend, given the nature of the traditional blackboard-based teaching method, which requires the active participation of the student in guided note-taking and in following the analytical development of problems and formulas in real time.Type of evaluation
There are two different assessment methods. The first, known as 'ongoing assessment' or 'exemption', involves evaluating individual components of the course as it progresses. The second method is the 'comprehensive exam', which requires students to take a single written exam covering the entire syllabus at the end of the course. If a student does not achieve the minimum score in any of the three midterm assessments during the course, they must take the exam using the 'comprehensive exam' assessment method. teacher profile teaching materials
