LEARNING OUTCOMES
After the course the student will be able to
1. Describe the theoretical basis of currently important electroanalytical methods.
2. Describe the functional components of the instrument/instruments used in the method
3. Utilize the strengths of electroanalytical methods when they exist in comparison to other instrumental analysis methods
4. Describe the function of electronical components used in electroanalytical instrumentation and in chemical instrumentation in general.
5. Find and read basic scientific literature on a given topic related to the novel developments of selected method/method group or novel instrumentation solutions

The course is lectured only on even years starting from year 2020 and then the next time is on 2022. Hower, it can be carried out using the remote teaching materials also during uneven years (e.g. 2023). The course covers chemical instrumentation and all the important electroanalytical methods used in quantitative analysis. Principles of Instrumental Analysis by Douglas A. Skoog, F. James Holler, Stanley R. Crouch, Belmont, CA , Thomson, sixth international student edition, 2007, chapters 2-5, and 22-25.

FURTHER INFORMATION
Further Information
valid for whole curriculum period:
It is possible that we must still apply only remote teaching due to the continuously emerging new dangerous COVID 19 virus variants. Alternatively, flipped teaching is applied: The two weekly remote lectures are taken as homework and the third weekly face-to-face lecture is used for questions/discussion on the week's topics. In this way we can minimize the amount of contact teaching promoting transmissions of old and new COVID 19 virus variants and, importantly, it is presently regarded that flipped teaching increases considerably the effectiveness and interactivity of learning. If only remote teaching can be applied, students can ask public questions which will be anonymously visible in the MyCourses or they can ask private questions which are not shown to other course participants and are only answered directly to the asker.

Registration will take place on Sisu (sisu.aalto.fi).
A course implementation may be cancelled if the number of students enrolled to the course implementation does not meet the required minimum of five students. In the case of cancelled course implementations, the students enrolled to them must be provided with an alternative way of completing the course or be advised to take some other applicable course.
