Ohring – Materials Science of Thin Films

Argomenti del programma: The course is organized into 5 modules plus a Project Laboratory. 1) Basic concepts The course will start with a pre-assessment to gauge the students' previous knowledge and identify any knowledge gaps or misconceptions. Given the diverse background of the students, innovative didactic strategies will be employed, such as “flipped classroom” (with learning material provided by the teacher) and “peer teaching” in…
