Refresher Course in Experimental Physics
3 November - 16 November 2003
sponsored by
Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore
In collaboration with
Department of Physics, Saurashtra University, Rajkot
A Refresher Course in Experimental Physics for post-graduate college and university teachers will be held at the Department of Physics, Saurashtra University, Rajkot from 3 November to 16 November 2003.
The aim of this Refresher Course is to motivate physics teachers to improve their experimental skills and develop an insight for designing and setting up of physics experiments in college/ university laboratories.
This TWO WEEKS’ course will consist of lectures and laboratory experiments in selected areas of condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, electronics and space physics. The Course will include project work to design, build and test electronic kits such as temperature controller, constant current source, regulated power supply, etc. useful for a physics laboratory.
Teachers who wish to participate in this Refresher Course should send their brief curriculum vitae (including name, date of birth, email and postal address, educational qualifications, teaching experience, courses taught, positions held; please state whether you are involved with post-graduate teaching – if so, how?) along with a brief write up as to why they would like to participate in this course and their expectations from the course, to the Course coordinator.
Selected teachers will be provided local hospitality and round trip actuals
of train fare (I class or III A C).
