Study Programmes 2016-2017
PHYS3029-1  
Physics II and medical imaging
Duration :
44h Th, 24h Pr, 16h Mon. WS
Number of credits :
Bachelor in veterinary medicine7
Lecturer :
Alain Seret
Language(s) of instruction :
French language
Organisation and examination :
Teaching in the second semester
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents :
Physics for first-year university students in life sciences : electromagnetism, quantum physics, nuclear physics. Many concepts are illustrated by an introduction to the physics of medical imaging.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit :
See french version
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
DC currents.
Basic mathematics (algebra, analyse, elements of geometry and trigonometry) are also needed.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
This learning unit make use of different leraning and teaching activities such as face-to-face courses and practical works where students are teached to the solving of exercices and the use of experimental devices. Experiments are performed in live and video documents are projected during the courses. They are full part of the course contents.
Effective presence at the practical works is mandatory and will be checked.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
The theoretical course is face-to-face with active participation of the students for the solving of exercices. Much more active participation of the students is expected for the practical works.
