SCIE 511 - Physics of Energy Materials

Credit Hours: 3
Lecture Hours: 2
Lab Hours: 1

This course is designed to give a broad knowledge about fundamental physical principles which will help in selecting and using materials for applications in energy technologies. This project and activity-based course will train students through experimental methods, with hands-on activities related to the topics discussed in the classroom teaching. Students will be introduced to basic physics principles and instruments, including electrical and electrochemical testing of solar cells, light emitting diodes, thin film transistors, batteries, fuel cells, hydrogen production etc. This provides the necessary information about the material aspects of modern technology. Students will be able to integrate the topics discussed in this class into their high/middle school courses.
