moreBuilt environment surrounds us for 90% of our lives but only now are we realising its influence on the environment, our health, and how we think, feel and behave both individually and socially.
Spirit & Place shows how to work towards a sustainable environment through socially inclusive processes of placemaking, and how to create places that are nourishing psychologically and physically, to soul and spirit as well as body.
This book's unique arguments identify important, but often unrecognised, principles and illustrate their applicability in a wide range of situations, price-ranges and climates. It shows how to reconcile the apparently incompatible demands of environmental, economic and social sustainability; how to moderate climate to make places of delight, and realign social pressures so places both support society and maximise economic viability. Thought provoking and easy to understand, Christopher Day uses everyday examples to relate his theories to practice and our experience.

Lamar softball sweeps UTSA in debut
BEAUMONT, Texas Hollywood couldnt have scripted it any better of the Lamar University softball team.
The Lady Cardinals, playing their first games since 1987, debuted in grand style Saturday by sweeping a doubleheader from UTSA by scores of 3-2 and 7-5 in front of a packed-in crowd at Ford Park.
The first game was a story of redemption for Lamars Ashley McDowell, who hit a walk-off home run with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning for the win, just minutes after her throwing error allowed UTSA to tie the game in the top of the seventh,
She had tears in her eyes after the error, Lamar coach Holly Bruder said of McDowell. I told her to forget about it, and just like that, she hits the game-winner.
McDowells heroics overshadowed a strong outing from starter Shannon Millman, who scattered six hits for a complete-game victory. Millman walked five and struck out three, while allowing just one earned run.
The Lad Cardinals struck first in the bottom of the second inning when Candyce Carter hit the first home run in Lamars era with a towering blast off of UTSA starter Haylee Staton.
In the second game, Lamar took advantage of some UTSA wildness, as the Roaders walked eight batters and hit two more. Lamar had just four hits on the game, the big one a two-run home run by Beverly Corry. Tina Schulz allowed 10 hits in a complete-game victory, walking four and striking out four.
The Lady Cardinals led 6-0 after four innings, but UTSA rallied with three runs in the fifth and two more in the seventh to make it interesting.
It feels excellent to start with two wins, Bruder said. These girls exceeded my expectations. Were these two games easy? No. In two minutes that game could have easily shifted.
Alyssa Vordenbaum started and took the loss for UTSA, allowing four hits and four runs over three innings. Jolene Graham pitched three innings of hitless relief, but walked six and allowed three runs, one earned.
Lamar and UTSA are scheduled to wrap up the series with a single game at 2 p.m. Sunday at Ford Park.
Sunday is what we call no holds barred. Youre going to see subs and pitchers we havent seen. We have to be ready.
Tickets for Sundays game will be available at Ford Park on a cash-only basis.

Chris Brown and Debbie Allen Launch Symphonic Love Scholars
Today Chris Brown and Ms. Debbie Allen announced the winners oF Brown's Symphonic Love Scholars scholarships.
This is the first group of participants to benefit from the partnership that Brown and Ms. Allen conceived of last year as one oF Brown's Symphonic Love Foundation's ART programs. Each will receive full scholarships to the world renowned Debbie Allen Dance Academy (DADA), supported by Brown.
Each of the Symphonic Love Scholars will train in a comprehensive dance techniques, which is part of the mission of the Debbie Allen Dance Academy, to be able to speak the language of dance anywhere in the world. At the end of the year, the scholars will perform in the annual DADA concert and be invited to participate in various auditions. Additionally, Brown plans to showcase the Scholars' talents and also provide DADA's other students with unique opportunities for exposure and creative expression.
Brown visited DADA on Saturday to encourage the final applicants while Ms. Allen chose the scholarship winners. When Brown saw the dancers who didn't make the final cut, he surprised Ms. Allen by increasing the number of scholarships from five to eleven to include all of them.
"Everyone has their own unique creativity. One way of being creative isn't better than another. I'm not judging the finalists. I'm here to inspire and motivate" said Brown. "I could see in their faces and in their energy that they have the drive and the dream. They are all beautiful."
"Chris Brown is just so special," said Allen. "He has started the Symphonic Love Foundation with a mission to help young people have more opportunities in the performing arts and in life. He came to DADA today to meet the scholarship recipient finalists and was so impressed by the talent that he awarded an additional six scholarships for a total of 11! I love his heart. Thank you, Chris Brown."
Ms. Allen attended the launch oF Brown's Symphonic Love Foundation in November, 2012. At the launch, her dancers surprised Brown with a brilliant performance to a mashup of his music.

Wanted for Killing 3, Christopher Dorner's Claims of Racism, Corruption Resonate with LAPD's Critics
A manhunt is continuing in California for Christopher Dorner, the former Los Angeles police officer accused of shooting three people dead. In his online manifesto, Dorner threatened to wage "unconventional and asymmetrical warfare" against a police department he accused of racism and corruption. He was fired from the police department in 2008 after being accused of falsely claiming his training officer kicked a mentally ill suspect in the course of an arrest. On Friday, the LAPD announced it would reopen its investigation of Dorner's firing and his claims. We're joined by journalist and activist Davey D, who says, notwithstanding the allegations of murder, Dorner's manifesto "has opened up old wounds or it's reaffirmed what people have long suspected or have experienced in terms of [police] brutality. ... I'm really curious as to whether or not these allegations that he has raised, where he names dates, times and places and names, whether or not they actually check out. And I think that needs to be really investigated, above and beyond the immediate scenario which led to his firing." [includes rush transcript]
Despite Offer of Direct Talks, U.S. Intensifies "Sanctions-Centric" Economic War Against Iran
The Obama administration is ratcheting up its economic war against Iran ahead of nuclear talks slated for Kazakhstan later this month. Last week, the White House announced a new expansion of sanctions that pressure countries buying Iran's oil to withhold direct payments and instead force Iran to purchase their goods. The Treasury also widened the sanctions list to include Iranian state media. We're joined by Trita Parsi, founder and president of the National Iranian American Council and author of the new book "A Single Roll of the Dice: Obama's Diplomacy with Iran." Back in the United States after testifying before the British Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee on Iran's nuclear program, Parsi says: "In spite of [the sanctions], you're not seeing the regime change its nuclear calculus. And I would say that that's mainly because pressure alone will not work. There has to be negotiations in which something is put on the table that is viewed as strategically valuable by the other side. Only then will we be able to really say that diplomacy has been tested." [includes rush transcript]
Michael Moore, Chris Hedges on Challenging NDAA Indefinite Detention and the "Corporate Coup d'État"
The ability of the U.S. government to jail people without charge or trial is now back in court. A group of reporters, scholars and activists are suing the Obama administration over the controversial provision in the National Defense Authorization Act, saying it could allow for the indefinite detention of journalists and others who interact with certain groups. On Wednesday, the Justice Department asked an appeals court to reverse a judge's earlier decision blocking indefinite detention, saying the ruling would hamper its ability to fight terrorism. On the same day, the Academy Award-winning filmmaker and activist Michael Moore and the case's lead plaintiff, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges, took part in a panel featuring some of those who were in the courtroom opposing the NDAA. We air excerpts of their remarks. [includes rush transcript]

The Voice judge and Black Eyed Peas frontman, Will.i.am has donated his £500,000 fee for being a judge on the Voice talent show to the Princes Trust to fund education, training and enterprise schemes.
He is making the personal donation through his i.am angel Foundation.
After appearing on the BBC1 programme the American music producer said he felt "at home here" in the UK and decided to make the donation after meeting Prince Charles at Clarence House to discuss how his foundation could support the Princes Trust.
Will.i.am said: "Working with The Prince's Trust, I am joining the mission to help transform the lives of disadvantaged young people living in under-privileged neighbourhoods in the UK. My donation to the Trust will help these young people build skills that are vital in today's and tomorrow's job market including technology and computer knowledge."
The programmes it will support are: education programme, xl; its Enterprise programme, and its personal development Fairbridge programme, which encourages and develops key computer skills.
Martina Milburn, chief executive of The Prince's Trust said: "Will.i.am is an inspiring character – we're excited about his vision of helping the most disadvantaged to improve their computer skills and we're incredibly grateful for the donation. It will make a huge difference to vulnerable young lives in the UK today."

Good for him! And I hope the other judges are prompted to do the same. £500,000 would make a profound difference to a small to medium sized charity - but the Prince's Trust is a fine choice.
I might have tried to Will.i.am-up that quote though ;) It reads like a PRO lifted it straight from the annual review...

Thomas James Howard accused of killing son
Updated On: Feb 05 2013 05:59:18 AM CST
A 35-year-old man died Saturday night, and his father is accused in the killing, state police said.
The death of Thomas James Howard Jr. followed an altercation between him and his father, Thomas James Howard Sr., at 405 Tulip Lane in Saylorsburg, police said.
An autopsy Monday determined Howard Jr. died of a stab wound to his abdomen, said Bob Allen, the Monroe County coroner, who ruled his death a homicide.
The elder Howard was originally charged with aggravated assault... but that has been withdrawn.
Police say the investigation is still ongoing.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact state police at Swiftwater at 570-839-7701.

Interview: Artist Richard Wentworth | Visual arts reviews, news & interviews
Interview: Artist Richard Wentworth
The perpetually youthful sculptor talks about building a temporary village hall in King's Cross
Richard Wentworth is the eminence not-so-grise of British contemporary art. The perpetually youthful sculptor's activities span an extraordinary range of eras and ideas: serving as a teenage assistant to Henry Moore in the Sixties; building sets for Roxy Music in the Seventies; kick-starting the New British Sculpture movement in the Eighties with Tony Cragg and Richard Deacon; masterminding the now legendary "Goldsmiths Course" which launched the YBA generation, alongside Jon Thompson and Michael Craig-Martin.
Beyond all this, Wentworth is a tireless social and intellectual catalyst, a man who knows everybody and has his finger in an amazing number of pies. Now 65, an age when most people are thinking of retiring – if they haven't already done so – Wentworth (pictured below) is out there in a way that would exhaust a man half his age.
Now we have a double opportunity to see what this power-behind-the-scenes has been up to of late, with an exhibition of current work at the Lisson Gallery and a major installation – Black Maria – which opened last night in the Crossing, the monumental public space in the new Central Saint Martins building in King's Cross.
If you haven't been to the spectacular new CSM, you should get there before the surrounding area (until recently a Piranesi-esque wasteland of abandoned gasometers and railway sidings) becomes the new Covent Garden. While you need security clearance to enter the college's magnificent atrium, the Crossing, at the south end, is open to the public 24 hours a day. Wentworth describes it as "a narthex... one of those cathedral-esque, railwaystation-ish places we don't have a name for." It's a space laden with a sense of urban exploration and encounter, which Wentworth's piece plays on and subverts.
"I'm interested in the energy and patterns of the city," he says. "What makes some corners magnetic to rubbish, and others famous for road accidents."
'They saw this as being like a kind of visual ping-pong table'
Named after a temporary film studio used by Thomas Edison, which revolved towards the sun – an image that seems to Wentworth "very connected with looking and seeing" – Black Maria looks like a theatre, twisted and turned in on itself, executed in unprimed timber and plywood. It appears at once festive, provisional and balsawood-fragile, framed against the massively solid surrounding building.
"At the moment the pedestrian traffic here is mostly students. But in the coming months, as other things start to open, the space will start to work differently. It'll become, not quite like the Tate Turbine Hall, but that lovely English word, a thoroughfare. So I proposed that we block it, make trouble in it. We don't tell anyone what this thing is, then we watch what happens."
At the private view, people sitting on the brilliantly lit tiers inside watched people moving in the relative dimness outside – a reversal of what we expect to encounter in a theatre. It appears at first like one of Wentworth's signature works, in which everyday objects are re-encountered and redefined, but seen on a massive scale. Yet rather than being simply a very large sculpture, it's intended for practical use. A wooden panel at the front slides down to form a screen which can be viewed from inside and out. Anyone can apply to use the structure for film, talks and performances, turning it into what Wentworth sees as both an "inhabitable billboard" and a "village hall" for the area.
Black Maria is informed by Wentworth's 40 years' experience of living in King's Cross, seeing the area transformed from post-Victorian dereliction to its current position of burgeoning global eminence. Yet he's at pains to point out he didn't design the structure, much less build it, himself, but worked with GRUPPE, a team of three Swiss architects.
"For three months we've been engaged in a visual conversation," says Wentworth. "I had a more or less idle idea of having two audiences on both sides of a screen, with passers-by seeing these people in sections. We saw this as being like a kind of visual ping-pong table. What we've ended up with is half of that. But I held back from commenting on what they were doing. That would have made me like the person who's fussing about their back extension."
Yet in 28 days time, the structure will be no more. "That is a legal requirement," says Wentworth. "By the end there'll be hundreds of people desperate to use it. So it won't be thrown away, but it probably won't stay here."

How to choose this product
The impact of bus shelters on the urban environment of large cities can be significant. They are increasingly the work of internationally known architects and designers.
Such structures are differentiated by their size and constituent elements, including seating and traditional or digital information displays. They are found all along urban and intercity tram and bus lines.
More and more shelters feature real-time displays informing riders of the wait time for the next bus, as well as possible delays, schedule or route changes.
How to choose
Manufacturers offer a range of products to meet varying requirements. Choice will depend primarily on typical local weather, including the strength and direction of prevailing winds, precipitation and sunlight. The integration of advertising space can reduce the operational costs of the public transport system.

Introducing the New Thera-Band® Shoulder Pulley
Innovative design eliminates guesswork for patients
Akron, Ohio - April 30, 2010 - Performance Health / Hygenic Corporation announces the introduction of the new Thera-Band® Shoulder Pulley, an essential tool for patients undergoing shoulder rehabilitation in regaining and maintaining range of motion.
"Unlike conventional pulleys, the Thera-Band Shoulder Pulley features a unique rope that's divided into sections by distinct black marks. By referencing the position of these marks during exercise, patients get immediate feedback on progress. This visual feedback validates that they are improving, which is key to patient motivation," stated Anna Schrock, Product Manager for Performance Health / Hygenic Corporation. "The marked rope also allows the rehab professional to set precise goals and limitations so that patients know how far to go and where to stop."
"The ability to move the shoulder joint is vital for functionality in everyday physical activities, and anyone from weekend athletes to gardeners to do-it-yourself painters can experience shoulder problems," added Phil Page, PhD, PT, ATC, CSCS, director of clinical education and research for the Thera-Band Academy. "We commonly see limited range of motion in post-operative rotator cuff tear repairs, shoulder reconstruction, and frozen shoulder, or 'adhesive capsulitis' patients. Physical therapy and therapeutic exercise are the keys to successful outcomes in these patients, and the Thera-Band Shoulder Pulley is a unique tool that offers clinicians and patients visual representation of their progress."
In addition to the marked rope, other features enhance this exciting new product. The Thera-Band Shoulder Pulley can be anchored at any point along a standard door jamb to accommodate a wide range of exercises. The adjustable rope length offers custom fit and versatility, and the soft foam handles provide superior comfort during use.
The shoulder pulley can be used during clinic visits or as part of a clinician prescribed home exercise program. Sample exercises videos and additional product information can be viewed at info.Thera-BandAcademy.com/shoulderpulley.
"The Thera-Band System of Progressive exercise is the foundation of our business, and our products have been trusted by rehabilitation professionals for over 30 years," continued Ms. Schrock. "We are pleased to introduce yet another product to the internationally recognized trusted-progression Thera-Band family."

text: Programme Specification A statement of the knowledge, understanding and skills that underpin a taught programme of study leading to an award from The University of Sheffield 1 Programme Title Advanced Solid State Chemistry and its Applications 2 Programme Code MATT04 3 JACS Code Not applicable 4 Level of Study Postgraduate 5a Final Qualification Master of Science (MSc) 5b QAA FHEQ Level Masters (Level 7) Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip), Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) 6 Intermediate Qualification(s) QAA FHEQ Level 7 7 Teaching Institution (if not Sheffield) Not applicable 8 Faculty Engineering 9 Department Materials Science and Engineering Other Department(s) involved in 10 None teaching the programme 11 Mode(s) of Attendance Full-time (part-time option available) 12 Duration of the Programme 1 year Accrediting Professional or 13 None Statutory Body 14 Date of production/revision June 2012 15. Background to the programme and subject area Solid State Chemistry underpins the research and applications of Functional Inorganic Materials. Emphasis will be placed on the synthesis of new materials with useful properties and improving our understanding of the composition- structure-property relationships of existing materials. This will include both glassy and crystalline materials with a variety of tailored electrical, magnetic and optical characteristics including for example ionic conductivity, superconductivity and dielectric behaviour, for applications such as batteries, fuel cells, electronic components and sensors. These subjects will be developed within the context of the needs of the UK economy for graduates trained in Solid State Chemistry and of national and international companies for graduates with experience of Functional Inorganic Materials. Distinctive features of the MSc, PG Dip and PG Cert programmes are that: they are taught by staff from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering which obtained a 5* (A) grade in the 2001 national Research Assessment Exercise and are informed by the research carried out within the Department. they are taught at an advanced level within the context of well equipped research laboratories so as to give a broad coverage of the synthetic methods, experimental techniques and theory commonly employed by Solid State Chemists and also to give an insight to the applications of Functional Inorganic Materials. they (MSc only) contain a substantial research project which is carried out in our research laboratories and/or in collaboration (in part) with an industrial company (within the EC) or a foreign University (EC and USA). Further information is available on the Department of Materials Science and Engineering website at http://www.shef.ac.uk/materials matt0410e5e97b-a4cc-4ac7-ab5a-b4380cbf489e.doc ver12-13 1 16. Programme aims The aims of the programme are to: 1. provide an advanced course in modern aspects of Solid State Chemistry suitable for graduate students from a range of first-degree backgrounds and disciplines. 2. provide students with firm understanding and practical knowledge and training in fundamental areas of Solid State Chemistry, ranging from synthesis, through characterisation and properties, to behaviour and applications. 3. provide students with specialist knowledge, understanding and expertise in a selection of areas of particular timeliness and relevance, such as the design and applications of new materials for energy generation and storage devices, sensors etc. (MSc and PG Dip only). 4. provide students with an opportunity to undertake and report upon an advanced practical project in a topical area of Functional Inorganic Materials of their choosing (MSc only). 5. equip students with the experience and knowledge to make distinctive contributions in future careers in emerging areas of Solid State Chemistry and Materials Science whether in industry (small and large) or academia. 6. improve and augment the existing transferable skills of students, especially in areas of data acquisition and handling, literature searching, report writing and oral presentational skills. 17. Programme learning outcomes Knowledge and understanding: Candidates for MSc, PG Dip and PG Cert will gain: K1 A sound knowledge and understanding of the important Solid State Chemistry principles that underpin the synthesis, crystal structures, properties, behaviour and applications of Functional Inorganic Materials. K2 Familiarity with essential primary and secondary source materials appropriate to the programme of study. In addition, candidates for MSc or PG Dip will gain: K3 A sound knowledge and understanding in specialist areas of Functional Inorganic Materials, especially in silicate-based chemistry (cements, glasses and ion-exchange materials) and transition metal oxide containing materials (dielectrics, superconductors, ionic/mixed conductors). In addition, candidates for MSc will gain: K4 A sound knowledge and critical understanding in a current and topical area of research in Solid State Chemistry. Skills and other attributes: Candidates for MSc, PG Dip and PG Cert will be able to: S1 Synthesise and characterise Functional Inorganic Materials. S2 Design experiments so as to achieve in optimum fashion the desired outcomes. S3 Manipulate, critically evaluate and present experimental data acquired through practical work. S4 Report the results of practical work in a coherent and easily assimilated manner, both orally and in writing. S5 Evaluate critically information contained within source materials, to assimilate it and to précis it in reports, both written and oral. S6 Carry out individual directed and self-directed study, and to participate effectively in group activities such as seminars and workshops. S7 Use word processing, spreadsheet and presentation software, and packages (e.g. ATOMS) to simulate crystal structures. S8 Be resourceful, think analytically, and construct and sustain logical argument in both oral and written forms. In addition, candidates for MSc will gain: S9 Design and execute an original piece of research. S10 Prepare an extended written dissertation, to a deadline, based upon an original piece of research. matt0410e5e97b-a4cc-4ac7-ab5a-b4380cbf489e.doc ver12-13 2 18. Teaching, learning and assessment Development of the programme learning outcomes is promoted through the following teaching and learning methods: 1. Induction procedures in the first few weeks of the programmes are designed to familiarise students with the important facilities and services within the University. These procedures include an introduction to library resources, and to departmental stores, workshop and laboratory facilities. Valuable information is available also through the relevant departmental web pages and in the Student Handbook for the programme. 2. Traditional lectures are used to impart essential knowledge relating to K1 - K3 above. 3. Seminars which may be staff-led or student led, are used throughout the programmes to reinforce material imparted through lectures by allowing students to undertake problem-solving exercises , both ahead of the class and during the class, designed to reinforce understanding and to aid confidence in discussion. Seminars and workshops thus contribute both to the attainment of knowledge and understanding, K1 - K4, and to the development of key skills, particularly S4, S5 and S8. 4. Tutorials are smaller-group versions of the seminar and they serve a similar purpose and deliver similar learning outcomes. However, tutorials can also better address individual learning needs and allow discussion of individual problems. They particularly address skills S5, S6 and S8 but elements also of S7. 5. Practical classes are held in connection with the units taught in Semester 1 of the programmes. These are designed to reinforce material taught in lectures and discussed in seminars and tutorials. The specific learning outcomes addressed are K1, K2 and S1 - S5. 6. The individual research project is viewed as a very important contributor to the learning outcomes of the MSc programme, contributing to all elements of knowledge and understanding, K1 -K4, and to all skills, S1 - S10. Each project is carried out under the guidance of one or two supervisors. 7. Independent study is essential to the successful completion of the programmes. New students are introduced to study skills during the induction procedures and these are reinforced through seminar, workshop, tutorial and practical assignments. Such study is vital to the proper attainment of all the knowledge, understanding and skills outcomes. Students are positively encouraged to undertake independent study, and are given feedback on the results of this study, particularly through seminars, workshops and tutorials, but also by supervisors during practical classes and (for students on the MSc programme) during the extended research project. Opportunities to demonstrate achievement of the learning outcomes are provided through the following assessment methods: Regular formative assessment, in the form of periodic tests, written exercises prepared for discussion in seminars and tutorials, and the preparation of reports of practical exercises, is used to monitor student progression through the taught units of the programmes, and to pick up and rectify areas of potential weakness, especially with regard to K1, K3 and S1 - S5. Summative assessment is mainly through the medium of conventional, end-of-semester, written examinations, but course work elements also contribute. In general, formal assessment of the taught modules uses a combination of: 1. written examinations, which will allow students to demonstrate core and specialist subject knowledge (K1-K3), 2. essays, numerical exercises, other written and oral presentations, designed to test not only knowledge (K1-K3), but also important subject-specific and transferable skills (S4-S8), and 3. assessed practical exercises, which will allow students particularly to demonstrate attainment of skills S1-S4 and (in part) S5, S7 and S8. The division of assessment of taught modules between examinations and continuously assessed work (CAW) varies from module to module as outline in section 20. The assessment of the extended research project is via a dissertation. Students will be able, through this, to demonstrate specialist knowledge (K4) and a wide range of skills (S2, S3, S5, S6 (in part) and S7 - S10). Project supervisors (for students on MSc programme) are able to monitor student performance during the research project and to provide feedback to students and to arrange additional, remedial tuition if this proves necessary. matt0410e5e97b-a4cc-4ac7-ab5a-b4380cbf489e.doc ver12-13 3 19. Reference points The learning outcomes have been developed to reflect the following points of reference: Subject Benchmark Statements http://www.qaa.ac.uk/AssuringStandardsAndQuality/subject-guidance/Pages/Subject-benchmark-statements.aspx Framework for Higher Education Qualifications (2008) http://www.qaa.ac.uk/Publications/InformationAndGuidance/Pages/The-framework-for-higher-education- qualifications-in-England-Wales-and-Northern-Ireland.aspx University Strategic Plan http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/strategicplan Learning and Teaching Strategy (2011-16) http://www.shef.ac.uk/lets/strategy/lts11_16 The research interests of the academic staff and the research strategies of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (The Departmental Annual Report of Research in Progress) 20. Programme structure and regulations The Programme for MSc consists of eight taught units which contribute 120 credits to the programme. Structural and Function Ceramics [MAT4111, 15 credits, (100% Exam)] Glass Processing and Properties [MAT4112, 15 credits, (90% Exam, 10% On-line Weibull statistics exercise)] Multi-Scale Materials Modelling [MAT4600, 15 credits, (30% Essay, 70% Computer labs & project work)] Solid State Chemistry [MAT6514, 15 credits, (67% Exam, 33% Problem Sheet)] Materials for Energy Applications [MAT6516, 15 credits, (100% Essay)] Advanced Characterisation [MAT6517, 15 credits, (100% 3 problem sheets and 1500 word lab report)] Advanced Ceramics II [MAT6521, 15 credits, (100% Individual Assignments] Advanced Ceramics I [MAT6522, 15 credits, (100% Exam)] In the Spring Semester, MSc students will start an extended research project (MAT6040) and this will extend into the Summer. The project contributes a further 60 credits, making 180 credits for the overall programme. Students registered for the PG Dip are offered the same combination of taught modules (120 credits) but do not undertake a research project. Students registered for PG Cert take a combination of taught modules worth a total of 60 credits. Detailed information about the structure of programmes, regulations concerning assessment and progression and descriptions of individual modules are published in the University Calendar available on-line at http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/calendar 21. Student development over the course of study The modules taken in the Autumn Semester provide the basic knowledge required for the programme and are designed to provide a bridge between existing knowledge possessed by the student and that required by those graduating from the programme. These modules also include training in practical aspects of Solid State Chemistry covering aspects of synthesis, characterisation, properties and applications, and provide many opportunities to improve on transferable skills, including language skills for overseas students. These modules total 60 credits and success in these is a prerequisite to progression on either the MSc or PG Dip programmes. There is a possible exit point at this stage with the award of PG Cert (requires 60 credits). In the Spring Semester, the students obtain more specialised knowledge in the subject (60 credits) and there is a further exit point at this stage of PG Dip (requires 120 credits). Also in the Spring Semester, but extending into the summer, students registered for the MSc undertake a research project (MAT6040) in an area, and on a topic, of their choosing. This choice, which requires appropriate consultation with members of staff contributing to the programme, is made early in the Autumn SemesterTo graduate with MSc, students are required to pass also this project which contributes a further 60 credits to the programme, making 180 in total. matt0410e5e97b-a4cc-4ac7-ab5a-b4380cbf489e.doc ver12-13 4 22. Criteria for admission to the programme Normally an honours degree at an acceptable level (2ii), or its equivalent in materials, chemistry or a related discipline will be required. Those passing the Masters examinations at a suitable standard will be eligible to proceed to the research school for MPhil/PhD degrees. Candidates not quite satisfying the entry requirements may be considered for a programme leading to the award of a Diploma or Certificate. For overseas students: English language requirement is IELTS 6.5 (with at least 6 in each component), or TOEFL 575 (paper-based) or TOEFL 232 (computer-based) or TOEFL iBT 90-91. Detailed information regarding admission to the programme is available at http://www.shef.ac.uk/study 23.
