General Physics

Code: U6214
|
PHYS-02/A
It encompasses the skills necessary to conduct experimental research, particularly those for investigating physical processes and the principles of operation of instrumentation used for controlling and detecting phenomena, for the production and detection of radiation, for metrology, and for handling experimental data. It also includes the skills required for the development and transfer of knowledge for innovative technologies. The competencies in this field also pertain to research in the fields of acoustics, electronics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics.
