Course Description

Prerequisite: Interest in advanced topics in aerosol physics.  Students will ordinarily have taken a graduate course in aerosol technology, such as ENVR 116.  

The plan for this upper-level, graduate course will be developed through collaboration between students and faculty, and is intended to meet the interests and objectives of those enrolled.  Elements of the course are likely to include: 
    (1) review and evaluation of articles from the technical literature; 
    (2) visits to research laboratories in the RTP area; and 
    (3) work in the lab of the instructor at UNC.  
The class may decide to undertake a project on a topic of mutual interest with the goal to prepare a manuscript that can be submitted for publication.  We will discuss formulation of research plans, laboratory techniques, data analysis, and effective writing.  The focus of the course will be on aerosol measurements, but some of the topics will have general relevance.
