Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
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
Competences
- Must demonstrate a good understanding of properties and
function of nanostructures
- Must be able to apply the knowledge to characterize and model
nanostructures
- Must be able to reflect over theories and models which are used
to explain function and properties of nanostructures
- Handle planning and implementation of a project and handle
complex and development-oriented tasks during the project work as
well as contribute to the project group's work and
results.
- Identify own need for continued development and learning
within the subject area
Type of instruction
Project work with supervision.
