TP Phys/Mech/EEA

This is a cross-disciplinary practical course for students majoring in physics, mechanics or EEA in the L1 PCSI portal. This practical work will enable students to acquire fundamental concepts from the 3 disciplines (physics, mechanics, EEA), essential for further study in the chosen speciality or for a gateway 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.
