Course Objectives
At the end of this course, the student will
describe experimental goals, select experimental parameters and procedures,
apply experimental procedure, collect and record the data and make decisions when necessary,
follow the laboratory safety rules and recognize their importance;
describe and process the raw data for analysis by incorporating the simplifications and assumptions,
prepare diagrams, illustrations, and tables to present processed data,
discuss the results to emphasize the relevance between the results and theoretical aspects, the impact of assumptions, errors and uncertainties,
draw conclusions based on experimental aims and results,
compose well organized lab reports;
propose experimental parameters and procedures in a given topic to lead to designing their own experiments;
actively involve in teams during planning and organization of preliminary work, conducting the experiment and writing the report;
lead and organize the team,
have an awareness of environmental and ethical issues.
Course Content
Laboratory studies demonstrating the principles of physical chemistry and fluid mechanics. Emphasis is on laboratory safety, correlation of experimental results and on written reports and oral presentations.
