Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basic principles of scientific work, both theoretical and based on experimental research. Students must be able to apply and combine theoretical knowledge with outputs obtained from practice and applied research. Students are able to summarize the acquired knowledge and interpret the knowledge in terms of solving practical problems.

Subject syllabus:
The course is focused on an overview of the basic methods of scientific research (basic and applied research, qualitative and quantitative), including systemic approach to scientific work. Furthermore, the subject includes the theory of measurement, processing and evaluation of the measured experimental data and measurement uncertainty. Emphasis is placed on understanding the logical construction of the experiment and the proper use of statistical methods in the measurement results.
Part of the course is focused on explaination of the theoretical principles of basic diffraction and imaging experimental methods used for materials study, and also advanced physical methods of imaging and chemical microanalysis.
optical microscopy, electron microscopy
X-ray and electron diffraction
microanalysis electron probe
chromatography, electrophoresis, infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis
