General information
- Credits
- 5 cr
- Institution
- University of Tampere
Objectives
After completing the course, the student knows and can explain the principles of the most common characterization methods used in materials research.The students can evaluate the applicability of the methods and, based on the knowledge they have learned, to plan the application of different research methods in material characterization. The students know how to combine the knowledge obtained through different characterization methods into a single entity. In connection with the course, characterization methods will also be introduced by classroom exercises, online assignments, and device demonstrations.
