| Course contents : | The experimental method
The International System of Units (basic units, derived units, prefixes).
Elements of vectorial geometry (concept of direction, scalars and vectors, adding vectors, vector components, cinematic elements, scalar products, vectorial products).
Forces (composition of concurrent forces, moment of a force, moment of several concurrent forces, forces applied to a solid body, equilibrium of a particle, equilibrium of a solid body).
Evolution of thermodynamic systems (heat exchange with the ambient environment, heat mass of bodies, significance of heat mass of water in various thermal exchange processes, thermal dilation, principle of temperature measurement, changing states).
Reciprocal transformations of liquid-solid and liquid-gas.
Electrostatic (charge, field and electrical potential, electric field flow, electric polarisation of matter).
Electromagnetism (magnets and magnetic fields)
Continuous currents (electromotor force, Ohm's law, measuring procedures and arrangements, the Joule effect).
Alternative currents (monophased, triphased)
Electricity in buildings (sockets, switches, protection, distribution board, earth, introduction to the single line diagram). |

| Course objective : | Students must acquire a certain number of important concepts in relation to their future work as an architect. Students will be able to understand the technical notes of construction materials and to understand a CSTC article, for example.
Students will use the concepts seen and apply them during the courses relating to physics (mechanics, stress analysis, technology of materials, equipment).
The course also gives students the opportunity to acquire precise scientific language vocabulary, which will also be used to develop creativity, notably during work on exercises linked to the material seen and as often as possible, linked to construction.
Finally, students will be made aware of current research in physics and scientific methodology. |
|
| Prerequisites : | Physics course 1 hour per week at secondary higher level. |
|
| Organization : | Lectures combined with active student participation. |
