Measurement Techniques Laboratory - BMETE11AP66

Requirements

Code: BMETE11AP66
Language: English
Location: F32L2 - Physicist Student Laboratory & Training Reactor & Semilab  
Responsible:  Sándor Bordács​
Tutors:  Sándor Bordács, Pál Maák, Zoltán Scherübl, Lőrinc Kupás, Gergely Klujber, Tamás Hajas, Máté Szieberth, Sándor Lenk, Imre Harmos
Consultations: Sándor Bordács, Pál Maák
Attendance requirements: It is compulsory to execute ALL the measurement exercises (one 4 hours long measurement + four 2x4 hours long measurement)! In case of certified absence, a maximum of two replacement measurements (altogether 2x4 hours) may be taken at a time agreed by the tutors.

Working method: the measurements are mostly executed in pairs. Please indicate your preferred pairs for the measurements in the Teams group by 19th February (23:59 CET).  Prior discussions are possible in the pairing chat channel of the Teams group.

Safety: always follow the safety instructions given by the tutors and the lab descriptions. On the first occasion (17th of February), there will be a safety training, which will be followed by a test in the Moodle. It is mandatory to pass the test with 100% result by the 23rd of February in order to participate in the lab practices.

Schedule and place of the measurements (the numbers in the table denote the number of a measurement pair, see the pair codes in the Teams):

Time-period of the courses

  • T1: Tuesday 8:30-12:00

  • T2: Tuesday 12:15-15:45

A lab responsible will be present continuously during these times. Breaks are not scheduled, but you may take a break and leave the lab as needed during measurements.

Measurements exercises (see lab descriptions in the Class Materials directory of the files in the general channel):

  • Atomic Force Microscopy - “AFM” (1x4 hours, place: Semilab Dexagon building,  Budapest, Prielle Kornélia street 2, 1117)

  • Laser Rangefinder - “Rangefinder” (2x4 hours, place: F32L2 Physicist Student Lab, FIII building 2nd floor)

  • Phase-sensitive readout of MEMS and other sensors - “MEMS” (2x4 hours, place: F32L2 Physicist Student Lab, FIII building 2nd floor)

  • Noise as the Signal - “Noise” (2x4 hours, place: F32L2 Physicist Student Lab, FIII building 2nd floor)

  • Measurement of γ and neutron radiation - “Radiation” (2x4 hours, place: TR building - training reactor)

Replacement Measurement


Grading:

  • Entrance test (30 points) at the start of the first session.
  • Lab notes (40 points total), submitted at the end of each session.
  • Lab report (30 points), due within 1 week of the second session.

Total Points:

  • 500 points

Grade Scale:

  • <40%: Fail (1)
  • 40%-55%: Pass (2)
  • 55%-70%: Satisfactory (3)
  • 70%-85%: Good (4)
  • 85%-100%: Excellent (5)

Note: The failure criterion applies to the overall score, not to individual components (entrance tests, lab notes, or reports). All measurements must be completed, but a low score in one area will only lower the aggregate grade without requiring a replacement measurement.

Submission Rules:

  • Entrance Tests: Must be completed in the class, and submitted in hard copy within 10 minutes of the session start time. Late arrivals will have less or no time, leading to a potential loss of points.
  • Lab Notes: Submit online at the end of each session.
  • Lab Reports: Must be submitted within one week (7x24 hours) from the start of the second lab session. A one-time, one-week extension is allowed without penalty. Any further delay results in a 10-point deduction per week, until the score for the lab report reaches zero.

Lab leaders should correct the lab reports within one week from the submission deadline, with a single exception for an extra week. Please complain if this is not satisfied.
