An important part of this course are the projects what will be carried out by teams of students (max of four students per project). Work on projects will begin in late October but project teams and approved topics must be in place by early October.
Each project will involve:
- Preparing a project proposal
- Simulations
- Some design and construction
- Data-taking
- Data-analysis
- Presentation of results on a website
- Oral presentations
The five 'structured' labs to ve carried out early in the semester will give you an acquaintance with the tools (simulation, data-taking and analysis, presentation) needed for the projects.
I will make available some of the websites of projects from previous years.
I cannot stress enough the importance of starting work on these projects as soon as possible. You are free to design your own project but you need my approval. You will be given help and guidance but ultimately the success of your project depends on you and your team mwates.
