Students will continue to connect experiment and theory by researching, planning and carrying out ever more complex experiments. Lectures cover increasingly complex data analysis techniques, and seminars and labs provide students with opportunities to apply these techniques to experiments. Each experiment constitutes the full cycle of experimental scientific research: literature search, experimental design and execution, and peer review reporting. Through oral and written reports, students will become proficient at scientific communication. Prerequisite: PHYS 3590.
