Offered by Politecnico di Milano,
Introduzione alla fisica sperimentale: meccanica, termodinamica (POK)

Il corso affronta le tematiche della meccanica e della termodinamica partendo dall’applicazione del metodo sperimentale, per prepararsi al meglio all'ingresso all'università.
The course addresses the thematic of Mechanics and thermodynamics starting from the applications of the experimental method, to better prepare to start the college experience with the fundamental knowledge.

Il corso è strutturato in macro-argomenti:

  • meccanica (3 settimane)

. cinematica del punto materiale ed esempi di moti
. dinamica del punto materiale ed esempi di forze
. lavoro, energia, urti e gravitazione universale

  • termodinamica (2 settimane)

. cinematica e dinamica dei liquidi ideali
. temperatura, gas ideali, calore, macchine termiche ed entropia

All’interno di ogni settimana si ritrovano video relativi a lezioni, esercizi ed approfondimenti sulle diverse tematiche, nonché quiz a risposta chiusa allo scopo di fornire allo studente l’opportunità di un primo feedback di auto-valutazione. Ognuno dei macro-argomenti si chiude con un quiz riepilogativo per verificare l’acquisizione delle nozioni presentate.
Alla chiusura di questo corso verrà attivata una nuova edizione.

We have learned a lot recently about how the Universe evolved in 13.7 billion years since the Big Bang. More than 80% of matter in the Universe is mysterious Dark Matter, which made stars and galaxies to form. The newly discovered Higgs-boson became frozen into the Universe a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang and brought order to the Universe.

Energy management for real estate - Fundamentals, methods and digital tools (POK)

Engineering

This MOOC will provide you with the essential skills and knowledge to address the energy management process in real estate. The figure of the Energy Manager (EM), introduced in the United States in the early 1970s, during the first oil crisis, brought to light the need to get more work out of less energy. In Italy, this figure was officially introduced by Law 308/82, but had its first strong impulse thanks to Law 10/91, aimed at implementing the National Energy Plan on the rational use of energy, energy saving and the development of renewable energy sources.

Statics is the most fundamental course in Mechanics. In this course, you will learn the conditions under which an object or a structure subjected to time-invariant (static) forces is in equilibrium - i.e. the conditions under which it remains stationary or moves with a constant velocity-. You will also learn how to calculate the reaction forces as well as the internal forces experienced throughout the structure so that later you can properly design and size the foundation and the members of the structure to assure the structure’s safety and serviceability.

Engineering

This course is an advanced study of bodies in motion as applied to engineering systems and structures. We will study the dynamics of rigid bodies in 3D motion. This will consist of both the kinematics and kinetics of motion. Kinematics deals with the geometrical aspects of motion describing position, velocity, and acceleration, all as a function of time. Kinetics is the study of forces acting on these bodies and how it affects their motion.

Sci: Energy & Earth Sciences

A multidimensional and systemic thinking about the world energy challenge. A continuous flow of energy crosses our whole life. The food we eat, the car we drive, lights that illuminate our cities or the radio that plays our favorite songs, are all manifestations of energy. Our biological life can be explained in terms of energy and even our emotions and feelings to a certain extent.
