|

 |
| Duration : | 30h Mon. WS |
 |
| Number of credits : |
|
 |
| Lecturer : | Laurent Dreesen |
 |
Language(s) of instruction :
 |
| French language |
 |
Organisation and examination :
 |
| All year long |
 |
Course contents :
 |
| The experimental physics course consists of the following main parts: the motion general laws, the mechanics, the fluids, and the electricity. Oral teaching will be systematically completed with experimental demonstrations. |
 |
Learning outcomes of the course :
 |
| Physics describes the real world. Each topic will be dealt with through concrete observation and experimentation so as to lead students to the theoretical study of specific concepts and notions without ever emphasizing details. We shall focus on fundamental theoretical notions within the students¿ field of interest while providing them with the necessary prerequisite knowledge considering 2nd-year requirements. Whenever possible, the theoretical notions from the different parts of the course will be illustrated with practical applications related to relevant practical courses. |
 |
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
 |
| The course requires good knowledge of secondary education-level mathematics. |
 |
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
 |
| The student should pepare a written work on a specific subject in relation with the course. The teacher is available for any related question. |
 |
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
 |
| The student is invited to prepare his work at home. Of course, he can assist to oral presentations which can help him in this task. |
 |
Recommended or required readings :
 |
| Reference book:
Physique expérimentale (Experimental Physics)
J. KANE & M. STERHEIM, Physique, Dunod, Paris, third edition corrected by P. Ghosez, M. Hoebeke, G. Llabrès
Students are recommended to buy the book as it is used for both theoretical classes and practical sessions. Included in Edipaq.
