Physics Lab for BME

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Physics Lab for BME
Leerdoelen	At the end of the course, the student is able to: 1) handle the equipment needed for a simple physics experiment 2) perform a simple physics experiment and process the measurement data 3) analyse the data and the errors involved 4) keep a laboratory journal 5) interpret large datasets in a scientific context 6) present the present the results in a scientific report including proper tables and graphs
Omschrijving	The course unit aims at teaching students • the elementary aspects of performing physics-type experiments; • how to analyze the data, including error analysis and evaluation of the statistical significance; • how to report the results in a scientific way. In addition to a theoretical background in these topics, the students receive hands-on experience in: • performing measurements in an optics experiment; • (computer) processing of experimental data in a biomaterials context. The course is integrated with the 2-ECTS course unit `Ethics 1: Philosophy of Science & Scientific Integrity' in order to put the practice of scientific investigations in the perspective of responsible conduct of research.
Uren per week
Onderwijsvorm	Hoorcollege (LC), Practisch werk (PRC), Werkcollege (T) (Mandatory presence: All practical sessions need to be actively attended. Failure to do so will lead to a mark 5.0 on the respective mode of assessment.)
Toetsvorm	Practisch werk (PR), Schriftelijk tentamen (WE), Verslag (R) (Pass mark: All four assessment modes (WE, R1, R2, PR) are graded on a scale of 1 to 10, and each mark needs to be higher than 5.5 in order to pass. The final grade is rounded to a multiple of 0.5 (except 5.5, which is not given).)
