  • In a post-secondary cycle of studies in the area of technologies and engineering, curricular units in the scientific area of Mathematics play an important role. They are essential for students to acquire the basic knowledge needed in other curricular units of the study cycle that require mathematical knowledge or other skills and competences acquired by working in the units in this area. The Mathematics I unit assumes a fundamental and relevant role in the beginning of students' mathematical training. Mathematical content is essential in the training of qualified staff, both in the understanding and consolidation of different concepts, and in the specific knowledge of their applicability. Concepts of logic, matrices, operations with matrices, calculus of determinants, resolution and discussion of systems of equations and vectors and eigenvalues with application in other areas of the study cycle are explored.

  • The teaching methdology is the communicative approach since learning a language always encompasses its effective use. The objective is, therefore, to integrate the specific skills of written and oral comprehension, speaking and writing in order to provide students with the possibility of developing and consolidating their English in the several topocs proposed. The students will also have the opportunity to consolidate their grammar knowledge.

General Physics

Category: Discipline
  • Não
  • Physics is a wide-ranging area that can be applied to any type of current technology. It is one of the fundamental bases for any development process, and its importance becomes crucial in technology. This course aims to familiarize students with the basics of physics to enable them to gain autonomy and strategies in solving various problems, with links to the other more specific CUs in this course and, later, to professional activity in technological areas related to this course. This course aims to be comprehensive in terms of the subjects covered, starting with the most elementary concepts of physics, scalar and vector quantities, and moving on to the concepts of movement, masses, mechanical forces, charges and electromagnetic forces, and energy. The emphasis in this course is on the demonstrative and visual component of the concepts discussed, an objective that is developed with the help of software tools.

  • This curricular unit serves as a basis for a set of other disciplines of the curriculum plan that find here an introductory presentation of the fundamental laws of mechanics of a particle and their system, as well as the fundamentals of the electric and magnetic field. It is intended that students develop skills in analyzing and solving problems that address concrete physical situations and exercise the concepts and physical laws discussed. It is intended that students demonstrate their ability to solve problems with the concepts of the subject of General Physics, through laboratory sessions and practical classes .
  • Mandatory
  • In the theoretical component classes, in addition to introducing the fundamental concepts and relationships in each chapter, ?sample questions? are analyzed that illustrate practical applications related to concepts or relationships discussed previously. All chapters covered in the theoretical and theoretical-practical classes are also explored from a practical perspective, either through software, by conducting simple practical work in the laboratory, or through oral presentations of topics following student research. The aim of this component is for students to visualize and concretize concepts, relationships between quantities, and trajectories. Regarding the domain of concrete problem-solving, students are challenged to solve a set of proposed exercises in class. Those that are not solved in class due to varying execution speeds can be completed by students at home and submitted for correction.
