Graduate capabilities & intended learning outcomes

Graduate Capabilities

Intended Learning Outcomes

01. Diagrammatically represent, analyse and / or solve conceptual and mathematical problems related to imaging and materials characterisation.
02. Use accurate terminology and appropriate units to describe physical phenomena related to imaging and materials characterisation.
03. Perform experiments related to imaging and materials characterisation using standard physics laboratory techniques, equipment and software and assess the data to check for inappropriate, irrelevant or spurious results.
04. Critically review and analyse research data in an ethical manner and interpret the results with reference to the scientific literature in order to develop appropriate conclusions and convey these in an appropriate manner in a written report.
05. Collaborate in groups to complete laboratory experiments and submit reports.
