Practical work in mecha/EEA/Phys CUPGE

This is a practical course for CUPGE Physics and Mathematics and CUPGE Mechanics students, in common with part of the practical course of the PCSI portal. This practical work will enable students to acquire fundamental concepts from the 3 disciplines (physics, mechanics, EEA), which are essential for further study in the chosen speciality, or for bridging between the other disciplines.

Introduction to basic concepts in physics, mechanics and EEA (electronics, electrical energy and automation).

Set up an experimental set-up.
Perform a measurement using different instruments and evaluate uncertainties.
Interpret a measurement in line with the concepts acquired in class.

Know how to use a spreadsheet to process data.
