Teaching method
The programme will be presented in classes supported visual aids and continuous discussion with students. Each week there will also be practical laboratory and exercises sessions. Also there will be at least one practical class on computer simulation.
Students will also be invited to orally present for the class one of several proposed topics.
Evaluation method
The evaluation of this unit is achieved by 3 written test (2 from vacuum technology and 1 from charged particles) and by 2 reports from the laboratory sessions. One aditional report related with simulation of charged particle systems will be required.
Students must reach more than 9.5 in pratical activities.
