Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Must have the knowledge and understanding of how nanostructures are built up.
• Must have knowledge on structures and their function.
• Must have the knowledge of and be able to apply relevant characterization techniques within nanotechnology.
• Must have the knowledge and understanding of properties at the atomic and molecular level.

Skills

• Must be able to apply theoretical models to describe nanostructures and their properties
• Must be able to apply techniques for characterization of nanostructures such as microscopy and spectroscopy
• Construct a project report according to the field's norms, include relevant literature, use correct academic language and communicate the project's problem and results in a written and oral manner coherently, including the connection between the problem formulation, the project's execution and the main conclusions.
• Justify the choice of methods, models and other tools used in the project work, and assess the project's problem in relevant academic and theoretical context
