CHEM ENG 7104 - Engineering of Optical Materials

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2023

This course will introduce fundamental and applied principles of materials for optical engineering. This will include photonic crystal 最新糖心Vlog, principles of light-matter interactions and light modulation and control. The course will cover fundamental and applied concepts of photonics engineering, and will be delivered through a combination of lectures and tutorials. The course should highlight the significance of optical materials engineering in modern society, and contextualise the selection of engineering materials on the basis of their characteristics and end use applications.

  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary
    Assessment Task Task Type Due Weighting Hurdle? Learning Outcome
    Assignments 30 TBD 30 NA 1-5
    2 mid-term exams 30 TBD 30 NA 1-5
    Final exam 40 TBD 40 NA 1-5
    I will give you more specific details about what you can expect in these tests as we progress through the course. All assessments will be  submitted via MyUni, using the online protocol.
    Assessment Detail
    Assessments will be individual and based on problems focused on applying the different concepts seen throughout the course.
    Mid-term test will consist of short questions about the theoretical contents seen in the course.

    Submission
    Assignment submissions will be performed online, through MyUni.Mid-term test submissions will be performed in class (for students on-campus) and online (for students overseas)
    Course Grading

    Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

    M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme)
    Grade Mark Description
    FNS   Fail No Submission
    F 1-49 Fail
    P 50-64 Pass
    C 65-74 Credit

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
