Course description and aims
The instructor lectures on the importance and regulations of safety management in the university with special reference to the department class. Lectures on data analysis provide several useful statistical methods for Earth and Planetary Sciences.
Student learning outcomes
Every student learns safety management necessary for studying at the university. Students learn fundamental knowledge and applications of the statistical treatment of scientific data in data analysis.
Keywords
Safety management, Waste material, Data analysis, Statistical treatment
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
The instructor will explain many examples of safety management and data analysis, and each student can apply the knowledge to their studies at university.
Course schedule/Required learning
| Course schedule | Required learning | |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | Safety management: Introduction | Understanding objectives of the class. |
| Class 2 | Safety management: Chemical reagents | Learning the dangers of chemical reagents |
| Class 3 | Safety management: Risks in experimental studies | Learn safety management for field works, chemistry experiments, high pressure and temperatures, high voltage, etc. |
| Class 4 | Safety management: How to treat waste materials | Learning the university regulations of waste materials and risk assessment. |
| Class 5 | Data analysis: Normal distribution and Errors | Fundamental theory of normal distribution and error analysis. |
| Class 6 | Data analysis: Error propagation and the least squares method | Fundamental theory of error propagation and application of the least squares fitting. |
| Class 7 | Data analysis: Polynomial approximation and model selection | Fundamental theory and application of the polynomial approximation and selection of the optimal order. |
Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)
