2. Academic Course Description SRM University Faculty of Science and Humanities Department of Physics and Nanotechnology UPY15103-Physics Practical-I First Semester, 2017-18 (Odd semester) Course (catalog) description The purpose of this course is to develop scientific temper in experimental techniques and to reinforce the physics concepts among the physics students. In addition, an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering to identify, formulate and solve problems. Also the course is design to conduct the experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret result. Credit hours: 2 credits Location : University Building 6 th Floor Required Text Books: 1. Shukla R.
