Physics is completely dependent on rigorous, scientific experiments in both the discovery of new phenomena and in the testing of physical hypothesis.
To be an experimental physicist requires the ability to make accurate measurements of physical properties, to gain insight from the observation of natural phenomena, and to design and construct experiments that can discriminate between different hypotheses. This module will provide an environment in which these skills can be gained and will, in addition to training in
basic skills, have a strong emphasis of the creative aspect of designing experiments.
