• Welcome to the web outline page of PHYS 5P96 .
• Be sure to review this statement on academic integrity
• To help you plan, the important dates of the current academic year are listed here.

What Brock calendar entry says:

• Comprehensive experimental, theoretical or computational research project in Materials Physics completed under the supervision of a faculty advisor. Literature review, project proposal and initial work.

  Restriction: Open to MSMP students who have completed all of the course requirements for the course-based MSMP Program option with permission of the Physics Graduate Program Director.

Course Goals

• The aim of PHYS 5P96 is to give the student experience in conducting an independent piece of research in Materials Physics. The work must be of high quality and must show considerable scientific maturity.

Workload

• PHYS 5P96 lasts for one full term and constitutes the first half of the Major Research Project (MRP) in Materials Physics. The complete MRP consists of PHYS 5P96 and PHYS 5P97.

Introductory Seminar	15%	TBA (approximately one month after beginning project)
Research Progress Seminar	20%	TBA (during final two weeks of PHYS 5P96 course duration)
Literature Review Chapter	20%	TBA (due approximately at the midpoint of the course duration)
Contribution abstract	10%	TBA
Quality of Research Work	25%	Evaluated by Supervisor
Seminars and Research Events	10%

No late work will be accepted.
