Laboratories in Environmental PhysicsLaajuus (3 ECTS)

Objective

After the course the student has a basic understanding knowledge of working in laboratory. Student learns to apply theory in practise.

Content

Laboratory exercises and experiments are carried out by students working in small groups. Both traditional and computer based measurement systems using a variety of sensors are utilized . Students are also taught mathematical methods for analyzing data. In many experiments computers are applied for data collection, analysis and graphical display of data. Basic concepts of error analysis and uncertainty estimation are introduced. Students write reports that include descriptions of the experimental arrangements and observations, data analysis, presentation of final results and uncertainty estimates.
