Students in groups of 2 or 3
perform 6 advanced physics experiments, devoting two weeks at each experiment.
The laboratories are open Monday through Friday so that students can work on
the experimental setup, instrument interfacing and data collection under the
supervision of the course instructor. The instructor provides a brief
introduction to each experiment, delivers relevant lab notes and
advises/supervise the students.
For
each experiment, each group of students submit a lab report. They also have to
give a presentation of their results for their experiments in front of an
audience composed of the course instructor and the other students taking the
course. In the presentation meetings, the instructor and students discuss the
physics, experimental work and data analysis of the experiments.
