Learning Outcomes : The purpose of the course is for students to understand basic concepts of Physics (Mechanics), which will be particularly useful in their studies and in their future professional career. Upon successful completion of the course, the student: develops skills and is able to • understand basic concepts of Physics (Mechanics), so that they can use them in subsequent courses. • better and more deeply understand the operation of devices and instruments used by rural and surveying engineers, and on the one hand use them more correctly and efficiently, and on the other hand propose possible improvements. • process experimental data and draw useful conclusions from experimental measurements.
