Visualization and SimulationSpecial Interest Group 18 February 2003 All-round Development of Science Students Through Project Courses Outline:* Project objectives* Role of visualization and simulation* Examples: binary pulsar and leaky bucket animations
Project Objectives By introducing project courses, students will have more opportunities to strengthen their skills in: • Searching, discovering, integrating and organizing knowledge • Collaborative skills • Communication skills: • Assisting the juniors • Presentations to secondary school students SIG
Student Involvement • Physics 191/291/391 “Directed Studies in Physics” are one-credit courses in which students can work on junior projects. • Service awards will be given to students who give talks in secondary schools. • Student speakers are encouraged to give their talks in their home schools. • Students attended a CELT workshop on multimedia productions in the winter break. SIG
Progress • Students attended the CELT workshop on multimedia productions in the winter break. • A Website is being set up. • Four projects were nominated to be adapted for secondary school presentations: • Ultraviolet detectors (291 project) • Life Out There? (summer project) • Mobile Networks (191/391 project) • Binary pulsar (191/291/391 project) • Several projects in Mathematics may join in the future. • Invitation letters were sent to ~20 secondary schools. • Ms. Poon, Principal of Sun Kei Secondary School, agreed to coordinate with the secondary schools in Sai Kung district. SIG
Animations • Animation 1: The lighthouse model of a pulsar • Animation 2: Leaky bucket as an analogy to call admission control in mobile networks SIG
