The first part of the Physics course covers the fundamentals of classical mechanics, fluid dynamics and basic concepts of thermodynamics. The principles and the physical laws that are studied in this course are the basis for any engineering application and all modern technologies. This is a basic course aimed to give some of the fundamental knowledge needed to obtain the engineering degree. Several mathematical tools are needed to attend to this course, but what is mainly described is the real world that surrounds us and the lessons are aimed to highlight the causal relationship between the observed physical phenomena. In the second part of this course of Physics, lessons are devoted to the phenomenology of electromagnetism: theory and applications. The final lessons are focused on the geometrical optics. Electromagnetism is the basis of the vast majority of the physical phenomena of everyday life, except the gravitational interaction. The consistency of the bodies, not less of their electrical properties in the strict sense, the chemical phenomena (neglecting the quantum mechanics), the colors and many other properties are indeed electromagnetic in nature. All this highlights the importance of this subject matter within the course.
