Practical work in mech/EEA/Phys CUPGE

This is a practical work unit intended for CUPGE Physics and Mathematics and CUPGE Mechanics students, in common with part of the practical work unit of the PCSI portal. These practical exercises will enable students to acquire fundamental notions from the three disciplines (physics, mechanics, EEA), which are essential for further study in the chosen speciality or for a gateway to other disciplines.

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

Know how to carry out an experimental set-up.
To know how to carry out a measurement with different devices and to evaluate the uncertainties.
To know how to interpret a measurement in connection with the notions acquired in class.

Know how to use a spreadsheet to process data.

TP 100%.
