This course goal is:
- To promote effective communication, ethics and teamwork as they are necessary to conduct independent research work and demonstrate the physics knowledge gained from the programme.
- To learn how to plan, implement and write research results. This will include formulating a research question, designing an experiment, collecting, and analysing data to reach a scientific conclusion. At the end of the course, the student will give an oral presentation with his supervisor and classmates, write research report as a group and design a poster and represent the results of their project.
- One of the projects that the students worked on was fabricating a thin layer of zinc oxide through sputtering towards using it as a gas sensing material. The main objective of the project is to study the structural and electrical properties of the thin film and to understand the effect of post-annealing at different temperatures on the properties of the material.
