Description

This is a transversal practical work unit intended for students majoring in physics, mechanics or EEA in the L1 PCSI portal. These practical works will allow students to acquire fundamental notions from the 3 disciplines (physics, mechanics, EEA), which are essential for the continuation of studies in the chosen speciality or in view of a gateway between the other disciplines.
