ANDRES VALIENT CANCHO
Physics has always been, is and will be part of our environment. Through it,
it is possible to predict what will happen to the Universe and, in addition, it
gives us signs that allow us to glimpse how it all began. From Aristotle
(384-322 BC) to the present day, scientists have

of humanity, interacting for the progress of Science and Technology. For example,
advances in Physics contribute to the progress of Engineering Sciences, and these, in
turn, provide technical support to Medicine, improving the quality of life of man.
TEACHING PHYSICS IN CIVIL ENGINEERING
The Curriculum Design of the Engineering courses at the National Technological University
proposes, from a methodological point of view, problem-based teaching that brings future
engineers closer to professional work. This is operationalized through the Integrative Subjects,
whose objective is to allow the student to address the theory-practice relationship as a way of
constructing knowledge.

PHYSICS FOR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING VOLUME 2 SEVENTH
EDITION WITH MODERN PHYSICS
Raymond A. Serway Emeritus, James Madison University
John W. Jewett, Jr. California State Polytechnic University, Pomona
This introductory physics book has two main objectives: to provide the student with a clear
and logical presentation of the basic concepts and principles of physics and to strengthen the
understanding of the concepts and principles through a wide range of interesting applications
to the real world. To meet these goals, we have emphasized sound physical arguments and
problem-solving methodology. At the same time we have tried to motivate the student
through practical examples that demonstrate the role of physics in other disciplines, including
engineering, chemistry and medicine.
DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS
HISTORICAL GENESIS, STATEMENT AND EVOLUTION OF DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS
BY JULY PALACES.
THE PURPOSE OF DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS IS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION
ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN DIFFERENT MAGNITUDES AND
CONSTANTS THAT INTERVENE IN A GIVEN PHYSICAL PROBLEM. IT IS BASED
ON THE CONDITIONS OF DIMENSIONAL HOMOGENITY THAT MUST BE
SATISFIED BY ALL ANALYTICAL AND EMPIRICAL RELATIONSHIPS.
