Scientific and Industrial Instrumentation
Objectives
At the end of this curricular unit, students will have acquired knowledge in the areas of Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Optics, Electromagnetism and Modern Physics that will allow them to interpret and describe the operation of equipment representative of the great scientific and technological discoveries of the 20th and 20th centuries. XIX and XX.
The skills acquired and developed by students in these areas of Physics should allow them to disseminate Industrial and Scientific Heritage.
Understanding the operating principles of Scientific and Industrial equipment will be essential for future conservators-restorers to be able to diagnose the state of conservation of this equipment, some of which are still in operation for demonstration in a museum context.

Teaching method
The teaching-learning process is centered on the student''s continuous activity. The apprehension of the concepts and laws of Physics that allow the understanding of the functioning of scientific and industrial instruments will be conducted through a close connection between theory and experience.
Evaluation method
Article 1 - Mode of knowledge assessment
1. The evaluation in “Scientific and Industrial Instrumentation” is of the continuous evaluation type.
2. The classifications mentioned in the following Articles are expressed on a scale of 0 to 20 values.
Article 2 - Frequency
1. Active participation in at least 2/3 of the classes is mandatory to obtain frequency.
2. Justifications for any absences from classes will not be accepted. Students must manage the possibility of not being able to attend 1/3 of the classes in order to be able to use these absences for possible commitments or imponderable situations, including occasional situations of illness.
Article 3 - Evaluation
1. Knowledge assessment is carried out by three elements of assessment:
• Laboratory work with group report (R) (40%)
Laboratory work with a group report. Discussion of the reports may be requested, with eventual individual classification.
• Seminar (S) prepared in group, with written report and oral presentation (30%)
Seminar focuses on the description of the functioning of a museological equipment. The seminar will have an oral presentation, with discussion. This presentation is supported by a PowerPoint file or similar, previously sent to the teaching team..
• Test (T) (30%)
At the end of the semester there will be a general knowledge assessment test, with a minimum grade of eight.
2. Students who comply with the indicated in no. 1 of Art.2 and obtain a final classification
C = 0.30R + 0.40S + 0.30T
equal to or greater than 10 values obtain approval in this Course.
