MASTER OF SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION EDUCATION SPECIALISING IN PHYSICS (MSTIEP)
| Module Code | Module Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| MEP502 | Advanced Medical Physics | The module places more emphasis on radiation oncology (beyond X-ray and radiotherapy) and diagnostic imaging physics encompassing magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound and the use of lasers in medicine as practiced in modern medical institutions. |
| MEP503 | Telecommunication Systems | This module covers the following areas: introduction to telecommunications, an overview of the telecommunications network, transmission, mobile communications, data communications, future developments in telecommunications. Students will have a broad understanding of telecommunication systems |
| MEP504 | Renewable Energy Systems | The module deals with the fundamentals of the different renewable energy technologies: wind, solar, bioenergy, hydro, and geothermal energy; General overview of renewable energy technologies and applications including costs implications; technical and non-technical constraints a limiting wide spread use/dissemination of renewable energy are also covered. |
| MEP505 | Current Developments in Physics | This module examines recent breakthroughs in physics research. It reinforces, in students, the idea that physics knowledge is tentative hence they should also inculcate the same in their students taking into cognizance that robust research and validation by the community of practice is required before knowledge is altered. |
| MEP501 | Condensed Matter Physics | The module deals with crystalline and amorphous materials, condensed matter classified by inter-atomic forces, scattering, reciprocal space and the brillouin zones, phonons, thermal properties, the free electron Fermi gas, energy bands, classification of materials as liquids, Metals/Semiconductors |
| MEP506 | Culture and Language in Science Education |
This module makes students aware of the effects of the culture of science, culture of school science, culture of science classrooms, and cultures of individual actors in the science educative process so that they take appropriate mitigating actions in order for learners to enjoy the learning of science. The module also examines the role of the medium of instruction in the teaching and learning of science |
| MEP570 | Dissertation | The module provides students with range of tools, approaches, strategies, data collection methods and concepts that are necessary in educational research It provides them with the knowledge and abilities to undertake their own research. The module also focuses on a wide range of quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection and data analysis and prepares students to carrying out meaningful educational research. The module prepares students on issues related to language, referencing, writing style, lay-out when writing a research report and also how to write a comprehensive research proposal. Students will be exposed to various computer mediated tools such as tools and technologies for data collection and analysis |
