A Hands-on Introduction to Radiation Detection:
Getting to Know our Radioactive World
</p>
</div>
<p class="sub">
This course is an introduction to basic concepts in radiation detection
and radioactivity, electrical circuits, and data analytics. Lectures
provide the theoretical foundation of the work being performed in the
accompanying laboratory. The course will contain three sections:
introduction to how radiation interacts with matter and radiation
detection technologies; development of the tools (mathematical and
computational) needed for analyzing various types of radiation and
environmental data; and building of a basic radiation sensor system.

<h3> <a href="device_project_details.html">
Device Development Task Details </a></h3>
<p class="sub">
Students will work in groups of two to develop a portion of the sensor
data acquisition or calibration. These tasks will require a full
understanding of how the chosen sensor works and interfaces with the
raspberry pi computer. Each group will have several weeks to complete
and test their component and share their work with other groups for
interface feedback, ultimately integrating their work with work from
other groups to make a fully functioning final device with final
project ready data acquisition systems.
</p>
<h3> <a href="final_project_details.html">
Final Group Project Details </a></h3>
<p class="sub">
Students will work in groups of two or three (this can be the same
group chosen for your development tasks) to come up with a research
project using data collected with their portable radiation and
environmental sensor devices, or collected through the larger sensor
network these devices are modeled after, to explore a questions related
to radiation in our environment.

<h2> Grading Method </h2>
<p class="sub">
The course grade will be based on homework (20%), lab participation
(20%), a final project and group presentation (40%), and a final
written report (20%).
</p>
<p class="sub">
Work related to group device development projects will make up the
majority of the homework grade (80%), including the project related
presentations made during the lab sessions. Viewer feedback on
presentations and project results will contribute to your lab
participation grade. A portion of the final project presentation
grade will come from your feedback on other presentations.
</p>
<h2> Course Materials </h2>
<p class="sub">
There is a significant amount of programming involved in this course.
For this reason, access to a personal laptop that you can bring to
class will greatly aid in your progress. That said, if you do not have
access to a personal computer, we can make arrangements to provide you
with a Raspberry Pi for use during class. Please <bold>contact the
instructor prior to the start of the term</bold> if you will not have
access to a personal computer during class.
</p>
<p class="sub">
All other required materials, including electronics and soldering
tools, sensor equipment, and any related supplied needed, will be
provided in class. You will have the choice to keep the radiation and
environmental sensor devices you build in class or to donate them to
the <a href="https://radwatch.berkeley.edu/dosenet/map">DoseNet</a>
program for installation in a school, including one of your choosing.
