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.
Objectives
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.
Knowledge control
TP 100%.
