Aim:
The objective is to give experience, i.e. knowledge and understanding, of tackling and solving a theoretical or experimental problem. The course should also provide training in the ability to write a scientific report and in oral presentation.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Former courses in physics.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
At an introductory lecture the ongoing research at the Department och Physics and Measurement technology is presented. The attendees annouce their interest in some area(s). Researchers in these areas try to formulate minor problems that can be separated from a larger research project and under the guidance of the researcher the probleme shall be solved. The students normally work 2 together. The work gives experience of/contact with
  • planning and carrying out a small project
  • writing a report on a original work
  • methods of research in physics
    The course runs over the entire autumn semester.


  • Course contents:
    Depends on project but in general
    • associated theory
    • measurement or computational principles,
    • evaluation of measured or calculated data


    Course literature:
    Current scientific articles.

    Examination:
    A written report in the form of a "scientific article"
    6 ECTS
     
    Grades are given as â?~Failâ?T or â?~Passâ?T.
