D1 – Knowledge and Understanding The student must understand the meaning of the concept and measurement of a physical quantity and must know the significance of the main laws of physics. The student should be familiar with the basic concepts of kinematics and dynamics, particularly the concepts of force and mechanical energy, as well as the fundamental principles of calorimetry and thermodynamics. Furthermore, the student should understand the basic laws of fluid statics and fluid dynamics, and the fundamental concepts of electrostatics and electric currents, with a focus on the use and interpretation of instruments for prevention techniques in environmental and workplace settings. D2 – Applying Knowledge and Understanding The student must demonstrate the ability to identify the essential elements of a phenomenon and show that they have acquired the skills and tools needed to apply physical laws to real-world situations and to prevention in environmental and occupational contexts. D3 – Making Judgements The student must demonstrate the ability to use the acquired knowledge by reasoning independently to identify the essential physical quantities involved in a given phenomenon. D4 – Communication Skills By the end of the course, the student should be able to describe physical principles using appropriate terminology, both when addressing experts and in interdisciplinary contexts. D5 – Learning Skills Students must be able to use basic physics textbooks to independently explore and deepen their understanding of selected topics in applied physics.

"Lectures will be conducted using the blackboard or with slides and notes. Exercises will be carried out in class (in addition to recommending those found in the reference texts), and in-class corrections may also be organized.

Written exam. Students will be given 6 problems to solve in class in approximately one hour. The problems will cover all topics discussed during the course. Full and correct solutions to 4 out of the 6 problems correspond to the highest achievable grade. Partial solutions will still be evaluated. The final grade will be averaged with the grades from the other course modules.
