Material Science; Structure and Properties
Projects
The project in the course Structure &
Properties is compulsory. A collection of publications
in the field of materials science, emphasizing relations between structure
and properties, will be available in the beginning of the course. The
task is to chose one of them, find the article and present a short oral
(an American Physical or Chemical Society standard is 12 minutes) review
of the content. The review of the paper should contain an analysis of the
objectives as well as the obtained results. The presentation must be so
clear that everyone can follow even without reading the paper beforehand.
We estimate that the project work takes two to three
days. The analysis of the paper can be either qualitative or quantitative
depending on its nature. You are strongly encouraged to choose a project
from another "discipline" than your own. Note also that this is a solitary
task; everyone must present her/his own work. However, you are encouraged
to cooperate in suitable forms.
Choosing a project article
Below is a list of the collected papers. In case
of emergency (!) there is a name of the contact person given at the
end of each reference. We also encourage you to recommend a project
of your own choice. An approval from one of the course instructors is necessary
in that case. Only one student per article is allowed and will
be on a first come first serve basis. If you select from the list below,
you must book the article you are interested in by emailing to duncan@fy.chalmers.se
. Include "FTF-145 project... in the start of the email subject and
include your name, personal number, department/school and a list of
5 articles in order of preference in the text. You will be given
the first available project article from your list. The project list
below will indicate which articles are already booked and will be updated
each weekday evening (updated list available 9-10am weekdays). If you
select your own article it must be approved by a lecturer or the co-ordinator
before emailing details to duncan@fy.chalmers.se
Project Presentation
You can choose when you want to present your project. There are two opportunities.
Either in the middle of the course (4th week) or at the end of the
course (7th week). You should plan your project work to be ready at
one of these times.
Recommendations and advice regarding project presentations:
Your project presentation (IN ENGLISH) should contain an analysis of
the objectives as well as the obtained results contained in the chosen
paper. The presentation must be so clear that everyone can follow it
even without reading the paper beforehand. The analysis of the paper
can be either qualitative or quantitative depending on its nature. You
are scheduled to give a 12 minutes talk followed by a 3 min. discussion
period. A kitchen timer shall be used to indicate when your time has expired.
Do practice runs at home or in front of your classmates to fine tune your
presentation. A general recommendation regarding the structure of the presentation:
spend 1-2 minutes for general introduction of the field/problem its relevance
for science or technology, followed by a presentation of specific solution
described in the chosen article. We encourage you to use OH foils for
your presentation.
Second presentation opportunity preliminary schedule
Powerpoint presentation will be available (bring your presentation on
a CD or memory stick it will be run from one computer)
Venue will be in MC2 buildingROOM A703
