Refresher Course in Experimental Physics

sponsored by

Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore

18 October – 31 October 2002

A Refresher Course in Experimental Physics for teachers from post-graduate colleges and university departments will be held at the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam.

The broad aim of the Refresher Course is to help motivated teachers to improve their background knowledge in experimental physics and to help them in designing/conducting experiments in a college laboratory. This short-term course, involving both project work and lectures, will be on selected areas of solid state physics and materials science. The project work will highlight the use of personal computers for data acquisition from a variety of sensors such as the thermocouple, strain gauge, Hall probe, piezoelectric transducer, etc. This will be of value to the teachers in setting up experimental facilities in a college laboratory.

Teachers who wish to participate in the above Refresher Course may send in their brief curriculum-vitae that includes name, date of birth, postal address, residential address, email, telephone numbers, qualifications, teaching experience, courses taught, positions held etc. They may also indicate the extent of their familiarity with personal computers and programing languages. These details may be sent to
