4. Learning objectives of the course:
Physics is the science is looking for everything around us. Learning basic ways to understand architectural world questions. Acquire a scientific method necessary to face a positive attitude and knowledge, and so study building parameterized aspects.
In this way, students will achieve a basic knowledge about the physical components of the architectural language and basic tools needed to understand the implementation of the construction of structures and facilities in the shaping of the building.
5. Organized in thematic content of the subject:

The raw and heat.
- thermal conductivity
- specific heat
- Coefficient of thermal expansion .
The sound.
- The physics of sound.
- The measurement of sound.
- The sound through the material.
Matter and sound.
- soundproofing
- sound absorption
6. Methodological approach of teaching and learning to achieve the objectives:
Divide the methodology used to achieve the goals in four points:
6.1. Lectures:
The teacher taught the concepts of the course master classes throughout the semester. The theory will be accompanied by the resolution of problems and to clarify concepts. The proportion of time spent on each task during lectures is approximately 80% to 20 % and a theory presentation and problem solving type.
6.2. Class time devoted to solving exercises:
An important part of the course is to solve the problems by the students in class. Here the teacher can identify problems encountered by students. The problems are more difficult than lectures. In general the exercises are solved individually or in pairs. After a proposed exercise and a prudent time for solving them, the teacher will solve the problem on the board. These hours represent approximately 30% of class time.
6.3. Exercises for solving outside the classroom:
The teacher will propose exercises outside the classroom with the intention to strengthen the knowledge of the students and to promote reflection on the theoretical concepts explained in class.

evaluation
7. Assessing the level of achievement of objectives:
To evaluate if the student has reached the objectives we will do in the following way:
A. Exam. Students will make an exam of all the subjects at the end of the course. (70% of overall grade)
D. Homework The teacher will evaluate the student exercises done at home. (20 % of overall grade)
J. Exercises done in class. The professor proposed exercises to be solved in class individually or in pairs and the teacher will evaluate it. (10% of overall grade)
