Physics and Electronics Laboratory Skills

Full course description

This skills training is strongly related and therefore complementary to the course Fundamentals of Engineering. You perform physical experiments representative for each of the engineering domains that are studied on a theoretical level in the Fundamentals of Engineering course. You gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental physical principles and understanding that laws and mathematical descriptions are models of the real world. Special attention is paid to an appropriate statistical analysis of the scientific results. You train your interpretative skills by comparing your experimental measurements with theoretical calculations using statistical methods, MATLAB and reporting strategy. Furthermore, you learn to highlight sources of error and when to use theory or experiments to solve engineering problems.
