Physics belongs to the curriculum of this degree. The contents that will be covered can be very useful for a future graduate Environmental Engineer in the exercise of his future professional activity. The themes of Mechanics, Electricity and Electromagnetism will be addressed. In this course, the aim is to establish the link between science and some physical phenomena, showing how the knowledge of Physics contributes to a better understanding of the technological applications used today.

Objectives
Objectives
To acquire knowledge of the basic laws and phenomena of Classical Mechanics. Master the main concepts that are fundamental in Physics, that is, the main concepts of Mechanics, as these are the cornerstone of any understanding of Physics. Recognize later the concepts acquired as underlying other areas of knowledge, especially in engineering disciplines, and know how to apply and articulate them. Apply knowledge in concrete practical situations. Facing Physics as an essential tool to understand the real and the action on it, namely in technological applications, search for new applications, scientific research, etc. Instill respect for the laws of nature and show that an engineer based on these laws must be able to predict the consequences of their actions. Develop curiosity and critical and analytical thinking.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
This UC will use some active methodologies that promote greater student involvement in pedagogical activities, such as Problem Based Learning, Flipped Classroom and Jigsaw. These methodologies will be used in the most practical and laboratory aspects, carried out in a collaborative environment (in groups) and always with peer assessment and self-assessment. Although laboratory work is not an innovative methodology, it is considered important to mention here since carrying it out helps in the consolidation of theoretical contents and in the students' involvement. In terms of digital technologies, the following will be used: moodle (communication, document sharing, release of results, delivery of work, carrying out evaluation moments); Khan Academy; PHET; SPSS.
