Learning Objectives

• APPLIED PHYSICS
  

  THE MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE ARE: TO ACQUIRE ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE CLASSICAL LAWS OF PHYSICS; TO BE ABLE TO EXPRESS RELATIONS BETWEEN PHYSICAL VARIABLES BY USING THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM; TO KNOW SOME MEASURING INSTRUMENTS AND HOW THEY OPERATE; TO ACQUIRE THE PRELIMINARY PHYSICAL KNOWLEDGES FOR THE FOLLOWING COURSES; TO KNOW THE MAIN FEATURES OF THE BIOMEDICAL INSTRUMENTATION.

• Computer science
  

  This course provides the basic theoretical knowledge about the use of a computer, hardware and software, about the applications of informatics in health care settings, as well as providing practical knowledge on the use of an operative system and of the office suite (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Access).
