327-0111-00L | Projects and Lab Courses I | 7 credits | 7P | M. B. Willeke, L. De Pietro, M. R. Dusseiller, S. Morgenthaler Kobas, T.‑B. Schweizer | |
Abstract | Practical introduction to the basics of the scientific method, materials science, physics and chemistry in the form of laboratory experiments and projects, some of which are closely related to the lectures in the first year. Important chemical and physical methods are tested, project work is practiced and the basics of working safely in the laboratory are learned. | ||||
Learning objective | The students - keep a laboratory journal independently, completely and appropriately. - can evaluate and display measurement data in a targeted manner. - are able to write laboratory reports appropriately. - know the communicative and rhetorical factors that are decisive for the success of an oral presentation. - create effective presentation documents. - know the general safety rules and disposal concepts for working in laboratories and apply them practically. - proceed correctly in case of accidents and evacuations. - learn practically how to fight a fire (fire protection course of the ETH). - apply the basic knowledge in analytics, chemistry, physics and materials science acquired in the base year in a practical way. - practice carrying out small experiments or small projects independently under supervision. | ||||
Content | In the area of scientific work: Keeping lab journals, data analysis, writing reports, presentation techniques, Test preparation and introduction to safe working and behaviour in the lab. Lab experiments: Experiments from the fields of synthetic and analytical chemistry and experiments from the fields of physics and materials science, e.g: Mechanical/thermal properties (e.g. modulus of elasticity, fracture mechanics), thermodynamics, colloid chemistry, "particle tracking" with DLS and microscopy, surface technology, "wood, stone and metal" processing, and electrochemistry. Some practical experiments are organized as short projects (two afternoons), e.g. "Building a microscope from a webcam", etc. In the projects: Two "reverse engineering" projects with everyday objects: Analysis of construction and materials, functioning in the overall context, life cycle of materials, alternative materials, etc. | ||||
Lecture notes | Instructions and further information on the individual experiments and projects (objectives, theory, experimental procedure, notes on evaluation) are available on the following website (https://praktikum.mat.ethz.ch). | ||||
Prerequisites / Notice | Special students and auditors need a special permission from the lecturers | ||||
327-0311-00L | Practical Laboratory Course III | 3 credits | 6P | M. B. Willeke, C. Battaglia, A. Borgschulte | |
Abstract | To impart basic knowledge and experimental competence using selected examples from chemistry and physics. | ||||
Learning objective | To impart basic knowledge and experimental competence using selected examples from chemistry and physics. | ||||
Content | Chemistry III: Synthesis of PMMA via Transesterification; PET recycling or manufacture of poly(methylmethacrylat) via radical polymerization of methylmethacrylat; 3D-printing. Physics I: Powder diffractometry, single crystal radiography, capillary rheometry, viscoelasticity of the polymer melt (or an equivalent exp.), 2 phyiscs experiments (out of 4) at the EMPA: e.g. X-ray flourescence analysis, impedance measurements of batteries, "power to gas" or texture measurement, building a Lithium ionic battery; and two further physic experiments at D-Phys (e.g. about "elastic constants" or "inference and diffraction" ). | ||||
Lecture notes | Notes with information for each experiment (aim of the experiment, theory, experimental procedure, data analysis) can be downloaded from the web (https://praktikum.mat.ethz.ch or https://www.mat.ethz.ch/studies/bachelor/laborpraktische-ausbildung.html). | ||||
Prerequisites / Notice | Voraussetzungen: 1. Erfolgreiche Teilnahme sowohl am D-MATL Praktikum I als auch II. 2. Bestandene Chemie I/II Prüfung und/oder bestandene Basisprüfung. Über allfällige Ausnahmen entscheidet der Praktikumsverantwortliche auf Anfrage. | ||||
327-0511-00L | Practical Course V | 6 credits | 8P | M. B. Willeke, J. F. Löffler | |
Abstract | Acquisition of independent scientific-technical skills; project management; organization and undertaking of experiments; interpretation, scientifically and technically correct project presentation in oral and written form. | ||||
Learning objective | Acquisition of independent scientific/technical skills; project management; organization and conducting of experiments; interpretation and scientifically/technically correct presentation of projects in oral and written form. | ||||
Content | Supervision by D-MATL research Groups. Groups of students (2 or 3 per group) each work on a research project throughout the semester. | ||||
Prerequisites / Notice | Prerequisite: Successful participation in the "Praktika I - IV" (courses within the material science bachelor study at ETH) or comparable practical lab courses. |
