Course description
The theoretical classes (1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12) and exam classes (7 and 14) are held virtually, but the laboratory classes (2, 4, 6, 9, 11, 13) are held in person.
In order to become an excellent engineer or researcher, it is mandatory to afford experiments in laboratory and know the theory behind experimental techniques. This course is given by international faculty members. Various experimental techniques are introduced such as: X-Ray Diffraction (XRD); Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM); Physical Properties Measurement System (PPMS); Thermogravimetry and Differential Thermal Analysis (TG/DTA); Raman spectroscopy; Fourier-Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy (FT-IR). For each technique, one class about working principles and introduction to the chemical and/or physical theory behind will be given, followed by a class of basic experience in laboratory. The students will be divided in small groups (3 or 4 each) and each group will team to prepare the reports and presentations of each experience.
Purpose of class
The students will be able to understand standard characterization techniques routinely used in materials science. Students will understand basic scientific and technical principles of advanced equipment and learn to handle it and obtain reliable data.They will also become familiar on how to work in a team, write experimental reports and prepare presentations.

Evaluation method and criteria
Each report will contribute for 10% to student`s grade.
Totally 6 reports must be provided (for every experimental class) so total score for the reports is at maximum 60% of the grade

Each presentation will contribute for 20% to student`s grade. Totally 2 presentations must be provided (for one technique of choice from the first three and for one technique of choice from the second three) so total score for the presentations is at maximum 40% of the grade

To pass the student must earn a total score of 60% or more.
Textbooks and reference materials
Handouts and manuals distributed in classroom
