Content scheduling
week 2/2024: Introduction to the course and lab safety.
week 3/2024: SI system and report basics
week 4/2024: Graphical presentations, fitting a graph, calculating the slope.
weeks 5 to 14/2024: 8 laboratory sessions and 1 extensive pre-assignment
week 15/2024: Session for missed labs
week 16/2024: Exam
Objective
After completing the course the student can:
- model physical phenomena and apply the model in engineering
- recognise physical possibilities and limitations
- use measuring equipment
- do suitable measuring arrangement for a problem and complete the measurements
- estimate uncertainty of measurements and determine uncertainty for the results in simple cases
- make and analyse graphical presentations
- keep a laboratory notebook
- report results orally and in writing
- work safely at a laboratory
- work safely with different kinds of radioactive radiation
- handle waste developed in laboratory
Content
•safety at laboratory work
•physical modeling
•radioactive radiation
•measuring, evaluating errors of measurements, processing and analyzing results
•graphical presentations and reporting
•handling laboratory waste
Materials
Study material provided by the teacher in ITSlearning.
In addition for self study on physics theory: Open Stax College Physics AP (free online)
Teaching methods
Contact teaching, self-study and lab preparations, team working, hands-on lab work.
Exam schedules
Exam is during the week 16 according to group specific schedule.
Re-exam can be taken with the next implementation of the course.
Note that the reports must be returned on time.
International connections
Course emphasizes hands-on lab work that relies on flipped learning. This means that the students must prepare in advance for the upcoming labs by studying the assignment and related theory themselves.
Student workload
28 h of contact lessons - including theory, labs and the exam.
100 h of independent study, preparation for the assignments and writing the lab reports.
Further information
Course communication and information about the course is in ITSlearning platform which you can see after enrolling to the course.
