How large is a nanometer ?

Diameter = 10,000 km = 10,000,000 m

= 107 m

1 nm = 10-9 m = 1 billionth of a meter

Divide by 1 billion 107/109 m = 10-2 m = 1 cm

1 m/1000 = 1 mm 1 mm/1000 = 1 m 1 m/1000 = 1 nm

How large is a nanometer ?

• My beard grows at 5 nanometer per second = 300nm per minute = 18000 nm per hour= 432000 nm or 0.432mm per day

What is special about the nano scale

A new frontier to be discovered, assessed and applied. Nanotechnology has a major impact on all industrial domains.

Quantum physics

• At nanometer scale effects of quantum physics are fully operational

• Quantum physics was developed in the 20th century, e.g. at Solvay meetings in Brussels (picture from 1927)

Nano nature

Nanostructures in wings of a butterfly, feathers of a peacock and opale cause very rich colors in nature

3 Associated partners

Program concept

• The program is a two-year/two location program- you spend first year at KU Leuven, 2nd year at Grenoble, Chalmers or

Dresden- program consists of 120 ects-credits in total, from which 60 ects-credits

should be followed at each university. - trajectories are defined at the selection meeting of the EMM Board based on

your own preference• You can change your trajectory during the program:

- inform us as soon as possible- Coordinator sends email to the Board members- After approval by EMM-Board within 2 weeks, program coordinator informs

the EU-Commission- No trajectory changes allowed after 15 November, unless with clear

motivation !

• Be careful for Chalmers students:- 2nd year in Chalmers: non-EU students have to pay 8000 Euro tuition fee, no

waivers possible for Chalmers !- If you need more than 60 credits you will have to pay extra tuition (1/60 of

8000 Euro per extra credit) ! – ALSO FOR SCHOLARSHIP STUDENTS !- There is a maximum quota for number of Chalmers students

• There are 3 examination periods: - Jan.12 – Feb 3 : 1st semester courses- June 8 – July 7 : 2nd sem courses + possible 2nd chance for 1st sem courses (EMM only)- Aug. 13– Sep 15 : 2nd chance for 1st and 2nd sem courses

• Exams can ONLY take place during these periods, do not make appointments with teachers outside these periods !

• most exam schedules will be completed in advanceso that you will know when you will have to do exams for all the courses you take this year.

• IES = tool to (automatically) assign or selectexam moments, and is automatically linked to your ISP.

• Check with your choice of ISP also your exam schedule before you send the ISP !

After ISP: check your exam schedule

57

Exams and IES

1. Assignation period: 5-24 september- Exams for compulsory courses of your study phase can be automatically assigned ! You can

only check the schedule, but not change it.

2. Registration period: 24 september – 11 october and 12-28 February- You can now select and register exam moments for all non-compulsory courses and for

compulsory courses of another study phase

- You can also change already assigned exam moments for compulsory courses to another date in order to avoid possible conflicts with other exam moments for electives !

• The exams for courses without a schedule at this moment, will be organized in agreement with the teacher.

• Only send your ISP when exam schedule is complete !

• For exams of the third examination session (august-september) you have to registerbefore Thursday after release of 2nd examperiod results.

Exam formats, scoring and feedback

• Default format: oral examination with written preparation: after you got the questions, you prepare the answers. Then you are called by the professor and you clarify and discuss these answers with the professor.

• Be prepared ! –- We will organize a dummy exam to test yourself !

- Check exam examples on the Toledo community for International students

• Professors should explain exam format well in time ! If he/she did not: ASK ! Formats are also available in the program book

• Courses are scored on a total scale of 20 points, percentage is weighted sum of scores of all courses !

• After each examination session: scores will be made available on KU Loket, and a session will be planned with program director to discuss your results and what to do next !

• You are allowed/encouraged to contact the Professor to ask for feedback after the exams: what did I do right/wrong ?

Problems during exams

• Exam dates can only be changed in exceptional situations (e.g. illness), and ONLY by the ombuds person after consulting with the teacher

• If you cannot attend an exam• ALWAYS inform the faculty secretary (Truu Ravelengee) and (one of) the

ombuds persons (Bart Vermeulen, Dimitrios Andrikopoulos) beforehand !- Inform the teacher in time that you will not attend the exam !

- Absence on a fixed examdate is ONLY allowed based on clear motivation (illness, accident, personal problems), NOT on study related reasons (not ready to do exam).

- Unregister your exam in the IES system

- If you are absent without reason or notice you loose your exam chance

• Ombudsperson is available for helping you with problems (conflicts, schedule, illness, etc.): Bart Vermeulen, Dimitrios Andrikopoulos !

60

Our mission is to: Ensure the university rules are followed by both students and professors/assistants;

Safeguard that all students are treated equally.

What do we do? We answer questions about the exam rules and student services;

We move an exam moment in case of serious illness or other unforeseen circumstances.

-We always need some proof, usually a doctor’s note.-ALWAYS notify us if you need to reschedule an exam moment!

-SIGNAL YOUR PROBLEM IN TIME, moving exam moments is a slow procedure

If you feel you are being treated unfairly by the university or the professors/assistants, contact us.

What we do NOT do? We are NOT responsible for your ISP which should be discussed with your

program director (Prof. Bart Soree or Prof. Marc Heyns).

We do NOT answer questions related to the content of courses.

We do NOT make the exam schedules.

We do NOT optimize exam schedules without a valid reason.

Contact: [email protected] or [email protected]

Fraude and plagiarism

ATTENTION: (attempts to) fraud during an exam is strongly penalized !

What is considered fraud ? Some examples:

use smart phone, cell phones, notebooks etc. during the exam to lookup exam relevant information

pass notes, texts etc. to another student during an exam without permission from supervisors

write key words or formulas on your arm in in your hand

have course notes, books, handouts open during a closed book exam

copy/paste text from public sources into own reports without proper referencing

Master thesis texts are all screened for plagiarism (Turnitin) !

Possible sanctions: An invalid exam: the student needs to retake the exam

An appropriate mark or zero for the assignment or the examination in question

No marks for some or any of the examinations during the examination period in question

Exclusion for one or more course units. The student receives a zero for the course units in question and will only be able to retake an examination in the next academic year

Exclusion for a program of study.

Loss of the right to enrolment in the next academic year or the two next academic years.

61

Retake exams

• When you fail a course in the January or the June session you can do a retake in the August session !

• When you do retake exam in August for a failed course: you keep your highestscore from the two chances (only within one academic year )

• When you pass the course you cannot do a retake to increase your score !

• You can send motivated request for permission by the faculty to do retake exams of sem 1 courses in the June session, but only for special reasons (should be motivated and exceptional !)

• EMM students are allowed to take second chanceexams in the June session to allow a smooth transitionto 2nd year university, BUT it is advised to do this onlyif the number of exams is limited to a few (1 to 3 max) ! They have to ask permission as well !

Common scoring system for EMM Nano students

• all courses of the program, including the master thesis, are scored ina common scoring system.

• 1st year is initially scored in KUL scoring system, conversion for 1st

year scores is done in October of the second year

• local academic coordinator of each institution is responsible for theconversion and delivery of the examination scores to the programcoordinator at K.U. Leuven

• common grading scale in 6 categories from 8 to 20, using the conversion table (next slide)

•scores and the ECTS credits on each course unitare stored in the ICTS system of K.U.Leuven

Pass/fail criteria and CSE forlocal program

• Student passes the program if he/she passes for every part of the program (min 10/20)

• There is Zero-tolerance, i.e. you cannot fail any registered course, even if you have already 120 ects. Elective courses can be changed in the second year. Only exception: if you fail 1 course with 9/20 (but not the master thesis) and have min 68% in total you will still pass the master !

• Cumulative study-efficiency (CSE) as central study progress parameter

CSE= creditsregisteredofamountcreditsobtainedofamount

63

Failed courses and re-registration

• If you fail a course 3 times: quater-registration is NOT allowed: you are refused to register for 3 academic yearsfor the course.

• Deviations on the refusal can be possible by Director Student Administration, based on special individualcircumstances

Pass/fail criteria for EMM program

• Exams take place in the sessions organized by the local partner university, according to the rules of the university.

• The ects-credits are gained for the course if you pass the exam, according to the rules of the local university (can be different for each university)

• If you obtained more than 60 ects-credits, credits can only be transferred to the next year if the excess represents a full course.

• Students who do not pass the exam of the course, can get 1 or more retakes in the same academic year, according to the rules of the local university.

- at KUL: only 2 chances per academic year !

64

Pass/fail criteria (EMM)

You obtain the joint Master diploma if - you obtained minimum 120 credits in total- AND you obtained minimum 54 credits at each of both universities

First year students:If you gain 60 ects: you can go to the next year at the second universityIf you gain between 54 and 60 ects:- you can still go the the 2nd university !- you have to add the missing credits to the second year program (= upto

66 ects) - extra courses are chosen from elective broadening courses of the partner university of year 2.

- Chalmers students: if you need more than 60 credits in Chalmers you will have to pay extra tuition fee (1/60 of 8000 Euro per extra credit !)

- Fundamental and compulsory/core courses cannot be failed ! You will have to come back to KU Leuven next year to do re-takes (at your own cost !)


First year students:

• If you gain less then 54 ects:- either you quit the Master!- or you can re-register for a second chance at K.U. Leuven for the

missing credits- You will have to come back to do the exam for the missing

credits (at your own costs !)

• For students with a scholarship that do not obtain 48 credits at the start of the 2nd year the Board has the right to revoke the admission of the student to the program. In that case the scholarship can be discontinued.

65


Second year students:

• Compulsory 2nd year courses cannot be failed !

• If you do not obtain either 120 credits at the end of year 2 or the 54 credits at each university (or both), you fail the master !

- you can leave the program - or you have to re-register for a third year for the missing credits.

• BUT: be careful for visa issues !!!!!

Evaluation/grades

The diploma will also mention a grade<68%: passed (cum fructu)

>68: distinction (cum laude)

>77%: great distinction (magna cum laude)

>85%: greatest distinction (summa cum laude)

>90%: greatest distinction with congratulations of examination commission

For local program: based on the weighted results of all courses (weighted by the credits)

For EMM: based on the weigthed results of all courses in the common scoring system (weighted by the credits)
