NANO4210 — Nanoscience Research
Students enrolled in this course will choose a research project and a faculty mentor. They will conduct laboratory research under the supervision of their mentor. They will present their mentor a Final Report which describes the work done and data collected during the project. Students are expected to spend a minimum of 5.5 hours per week in the laboratory, at times mutually agreed upon by student and mentor. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to: Adhere to safe laboratory practices Prepare solutions of a specific concentration Use the instrumentation involved with his/her specific project Write up experiments in a laboratory notebook Use statistical and graphical software (Sigma Stat, Sigma Plot, Microsoft Excel) Describe the scientific theory behind their project Write a thorough research report
