Abstract:
The Virtual Laboratory research group of Cordoba University has created a zero level course of physics in which students will find an explanatory web guide with the problems, examples and simulations of the most important themes dealt with in this subject. This is a computer tool which priority and fundamental objective is to detect, in first instance, by means of questionnaires, those physics concepts which are indispensable to the students of 1st year of engineering for a satisfactory command of the physical subjects of that year but which, actually, are unknown to them. It was aimed to emphasize the basic and introductory aspects of Physics as a basic science. In it the students can learn the concepts belonging to some of the traditional disciplines of Physics, such as kinematics, dynamics, electricity, magnetism, etc. This way, it is intended that the students, simply and intuitively with the aid of this portal, become familiarized with those concepts which they have not studied
at secondary school and which they should know at the beginning of their engineering degree studies.
