This experiment course intends to learn about the processing and evaluation of properties of environmental and sensitivity ceramics materials deeply correlated with human life. After the fundamental experiments to get the knowledge on the concepts of these materials in their usage and experimental techniques, the students make the plan for the advanced experiments and carry out. Through the organization of experimental data and summarization, the students show them in the presentation, and discuss about the science and technology about these ceramics. In addition, the student can have the lectures on the safety in the experiment, skills on the presentation, computer operations, and analysis procedures of data.
This course aims to master the fundamentals on originality, important issues, planning ability, executive ability, and ability of expression.
