Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
- Adapt to different contexts.
- Have developed a high degree of independence to acquire additional knowledge and new skills to evolve in different contexts.
- Critically reflect on the impact of mathematics and the implications of projects to which they contribute.
Learning Outcomes of UE
Learn basic particle physcis via its experimental aspects : fundamental constituents and their interactions; symmetris and conservation laws, via a description of different experiments and explanation of the corresponding results.
UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance
